cutehap 1.0.4

cuteHap is a haplotype-resolved structural variant (SV) detector designed for phased long-read sequencing data. It takes phased alignments generated by tools such as WhatsHap and LongPhase and detects haplotype-aware SVs in several minutes.

Installation

We recommand the installation via conda or pip:

    $ conda install -c bioconda cutehap
    or
    $ pip install cutehap

Alternatively, installing from source with:

    $ git clone https://github.com/Meltpinkg/cuteHap.git
    $ cd cuteHap
    $ python setup.py install

Introduction

Structural variations (SVs), as a major category of genomic rearrangements, are capable of altering millions of nucleotides within the human genome. The detection of germline SVs and somatic mosaicism has emerged as a critical frontier in genomic research. Long-read sequencing technologies have demonstrated transformative potential in characterizing these variants. cuteHap is designed to produce high-quality, phased call sets for germline SV detection while simultaneously identifying low-frequency somatic mosaic events. The method delivers high-performance, haplotype-resolved SV detection and comprehensive detection of low-frequency mosaicism. A detailed usage guide documentation is available at here. A comprehensive demo and benchmarks are available at here.
