GLIMPSE

A tool for low-coverage whole-genome sequencing imputation



About

GLIMPSE2 is a set of tools for low-coverage whole genome sequencing imputation. GLIMPSE2 is based on the GLIMPSE model and designed for reference panels containing hundreads of thousands of reference samples, with a special focus on rare variants.

GLIMPSE1

At the moment, GLIMPSE2 performs imputation only from a reference panel of samples. To use the joint-model, particularly useful for many samples at higher coverages (>0.5x) and small reference panels, please visit the GLIMPSE1 website.

News

Version 2.0.0 is now available! See the CHANGELOG for details.

Description

GLIMPSE2 is composed of the following tools:

  • chunk. Tool to phase common sites, typically SNP array data, or the first step of WES/WGS data.
  • split_reference. Tool to phase common sites, typically SNP array data, or the first step of WES/WGS data.
  • phase. Ligate multiple phased BCF/VCF files into a single whole chromosome file. Typically run to ligate multiple chunks of phased common variants.
  • ligate. Tool to phase rare variants onto a scaffold of common variants (output of phase_common / ligate).
  • concordance. Program to compute switch error rate and genotyping error rate given simulated or trio data.
