[ensembl-dev] Info/Doc on the Ensembl SNP pipeline?

[Anja Thormann]

Hello Jan,

we used the pipeline described in /ensembl-variation/documentation/README.snp.calling.txt to call SNPs for a variety
of species (e.g. human, rat, zebrafish, mouse, …). The pipeline is stable and computes sensible results. 

We recently tried new approaches for calling SNPs which included using bwa for aligning reads and samtools and bcftools
for SNP calling. One of the main advantages is a huge decrease in running time. I can add a documentation for the new pipeline
in the next release.

Maybe you should have a look at how the 1000 genomes project calls SNPs as well: http://www.1000genomes.org/analysis

Regards,
Anja
