Summary: VarScan, an open source tool for variant detection that is compatible with several short read align-ers.

"Error: no local variable "counter" was set." is not a number.

VarScan is a platform-independent, technology-independent software tool for identifying SNPs and indels in massively parallel sequencing of individual and pooled samples. Given data for a single sample, VarScan identifies and filters germline variants based on read counts, base quality, and allele frequency.
