  1. So after much community backlash #GATK has reverted back to the ./. representation for no-calls.

    The question is, will something like this occur again? and how many people have already switched away to other tools like #bcftools.

    I know I have moved all my pipelines back to bcftools and honestly its brilliant.

  2. What’s everyone’s thoughts and experience on merging large numbers of gvcf files? Currently I’m running #bcftools merge, but as a tree merge process (multiple smaller merges that then get merged together). I’ve seen there is #IMMerge which is meant to have speed improvements. Are there any other tools or hacks people are using? 🧬
