Software discoSnp is designed for discovering Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) from raw set(s) of reads. The number of input read sets is not constrained, it can be one, two, or more. No reference genome is needed. DiscoSnp became DiscoSnp++, and can now detect all kinds of SNPs (not only isolated ones) and insertions and deletions.
Software discoSnp++ is designed for discovering Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) and insertions/deletions (indels) from raw set(s) of reads obtained with Next Generation Sequencers (NGS).
Note that number of input read sets is not constrained, it can be one, two, or more. Note also that no other data as reference genome or annotations are needed.
The outputs are fasta files containing variants and a VCF file using or not a reference genome.
