documentation for `vg call` ? #1591

Open indraniel opened 6 years ago

indraniel commented 6 years ago

I noticed on the Basic Operations wiki page that there are two types of genotypers contained within vg: vg call and vg genotype. The documentation on the "Basic Operations" page notes that:

There are two variant callers in vg, one relying on a samtools pileup style structure and a more advanced one that behaves more like FreeBayes, termed genotype. call deserves its own wiki page, so we'll leave that for later. We'll talk about the genotyper here.

Is there a documentation page for vg call ?

Thanks in advance!

There is not a lot of documentation for either. The most up-to-date documentation is often the readme.

If you'd be willing to experiment a bit and write up how it goes in this issue, I can work on reworking what we accomplish into the wiki. Is it clear how to prep for call (i.e. graph creation, indexing, and read alignment)?
