GATK, pronounced "Gee Ay Tee Kay" (not "Gat-Kay"), stands for
|
|
|
|
|
GenomeAnalysisToolkit. It is a collection of command-line tools for analyzing
|
|
|
|
|
high-throughput sequencing data with a primary focus on variant discovery. The
|
|
|
|
|
tools can be used individually or chained together into complete workflows.
|
|
|
|
|
end-to-end workflows are provided, called GATK Best Practices, tailored for
|
|
|
|
|
specific use cases.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Developed in the Data Sciences Platform at the Broad Institute, the toolkit
|
|
|
|
|
offers a wide variety of tools with a primary focus on variant discovery and
|
|
|
|
|
genotyping. Its powerful processing engine and high-performance computing
|
|
|
|
|
features make it capable of taking on projects of any size.
