NAME

       varscan - variant detection in next-generation sequencing data

SYNOPSIS

       varscan [COMMAND] [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       Variant  detection  in  massively parallel sequencing. For one sample, calls SNPs, indels,
       and consensus genotypes. For  tumor-normal  pairs,  further  classifies  each  variant  as
       Germline, Somatic, or LOH, and also detects somatic copy number changes.

USAGE

   COMMANDS:
       pileup2snp
              Identify SNPs from a pileup file

       pileup2indel
              Identify indels a pileup file

       pileup2cns
              Call consensus and variants from a pileup file

       mpileup2snp
              Identify SNPs from an mpileup file

       mpileup2indel
              Identify indels an mpileup file

       mpileup2cns
              Call consensus and variants from an mpileup file

       somatic
              Call germline/somatic variants from tumor-normal pileups

       copynumber
              Determine relative tumor copy number from tumor-normal pileups

       readcounts
              Obtain read counts for a list of variants from a pileup file

       filter Filter SNPs by coverage, frequency, p-value, etc.

       somaticFilter
              Filter somatic variants for clusters/indels

       processSomatic
              Isolate Germline/LOH/Somatic calls from output

       copyCaller
              GC-adjust and process copy number changes from VarScan copynumber output

       compare
              Compare two lists of positions/variants

       limit  Restrict pileup/snps/indels to ROI positions
