varscan(1) variant detection in next-generation sequencing data

SYNOPSIS

varscan [COMMAND] [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

Variant detection in massively parallel sequencing. For one sample, calls SNPs, indels, and consensus genotypes. For tumor-normal pairs, further classifies each variant as Germline, Somatic, or LOH, and also detects somatic copy number changes.

USAGE
