This update contains many improvements as well as bug fixes. Below list some of the updates:

  • It now handles BAM files aligned using Novoalign, where it's possible a deletion is immediately followed by an insertion, which haven't been observed in BWA.
  • Fixed the negative read count problem for indels, which will result errors in downstream Fisher exact test for somatic mutations or strand bias.
  • Improved ability to call complex variants, where multiple deletions and insertions happened in a single read.
  • Improved calling tandem insertions (15 bp or longer).
  • Adjust allele frequencies for long indels with repeats if no read spanning the indels.
  • Changed the deletion quality to use the higher base quality of the flanking two bases.
  • In amplicon awareness calling, deletions that extended into another amplicon's primer won't be called as amplicon bias as the other amplicon won't work in theory.
  • Raw VarDict will output all variants in a given position, instead of just the most frequent one.
  • Change AD field in VCF to be more consistent with GATK.
