Evaluating alignment and variant-calling software for mutation identification in C. elegans by whole-genome sequencing.

Whole-genome sequencing is a powerful tool for analyzing genetic variation on a global scale. One particularly useful application is the identification of mutations obtained by classical phenotypic screens in model species. Sequence data from the mutant strain is aligned to the reference genome, and...
