I develop and maintain several tools in (moderately) wide use in genomics. Some popular packages include:

  • peddy and somalier for finding relatedness in cohorts
  • slivar for variant annotation and filtering with javascript expressions. these expressions are flexible enough to allow finding de novo, compound-het, recessive, etc variants across families.
  • mosdepth for rapid depth calculation
  • cyvcf2 for fast VCF parsing and manipulation in python.
  • vcfanno annotate a VCF with other VCFs or beds using a config file to indicate how fields are extracted and added.
  • echtvar for rapid variant annotation with allele frequency
  • slivar for applying simple expressions for filtering variants in trios and families.
