DESCRIPTION¶
Sniffles is a structural variation caller using third generation sequencing
(PacBio or Oxford Nanopore). It detects all types of SVs using evidence from
split-read alignments, high-mismatch regions, and coverage analysis. Please
note the current version of Sniffles requires output from BWA-MEM with the
optional SAM attributes enabled!
OPTIONS¶

4
- -q int, --minmapping_qual int
- Minimum Mapping Quality. Default: 20
- -l int, --min_length int
