HaplotypeTools: a toolkit for accurately identifying recombination and recombinant genotypes

Abstract Background Identifying haplotypes is central to sequence analysis in diploid or polyploid genomes. Despite this, there remains a lack of research and tools designed for physical phasing and its downstream analysis. Results HaplotypeTools is a new toolset to phase variant sites using VCF and...
