A Likelihood-Based Framework for Variant Calling and De Novo Mutation Detection in Families

Family samples, which can be enriched for rare causal variants by focusing on families with multiple extreme individuals and which facilitate detection of de novo mutation events, provide an attractive resource for next-generation sequencing studies. Here, we describe, implement, and evaluate a like...
