ANGSD

Latest version is 0.515 from March 22 2013.

We also have a dev version 0.524, which has passed all our internal testing.

The program is developed on tested on a Linux system. The program compiles on osx, but this is not tested intensively.

About

ANGSD is a software for analyzing next generation sequencing data. The software can handle a number of different input types from mapped reads to imputed genotype probabilities. All methods take genotype uncertainty into account instead of basing the analysis on called genotypes. This is especially useful for low and medium depth data. The software is written in C++ and can handle thousands of samples.

This program is not for manipulating '.bam' files, but solely a tool to perform various kinds of analysis. We recommend the excellent program SAMtools for outputting and modifying bamfiles.
