shapeit4 - fast and accurate method for estimation of haplotypes (phasing)

shapeit4 [options]

Segmented HAPlotype Estimation and Imputation Tools version 4 (SHAPEIT4). SHAPEIT4 is a fast and accurate method for estimation of haplotypes (aka phasing) for SNP array and sequencing data. It includes a Positional Burrow Wheeler Transform (PBWT) based approach to quickly select a small set of informative conditioning haplotypes to be used when updating the phase of an individual. It accounts for sets of pre-phased genotypes (i.e. haplotype scaffold). The scaffold can be derived either from family data or large reference panels. It reads and writes files using HTSlib for better I/O performance in either VCF or BCF formats. The genotype graph and HMM routines have been re-implemented for better hardware usage and performance.
