    Google has released DeepVariant as open source. From the announcement:

    Today, we announce the open source release of DeepVariant, a deep learning technology to reconstruct the true genome sequence from HTS sequencer data with significantly greater accuracy than previous classical methods. This work is the product of more than two years of research by the Google Brain team, in collaboration with Verily Life Sciences. DeepVariant transforms the task of variant calling, as this reconstruction problem is known in genomics, into an image classification problem well-suited to Google’s existing technology and expertise.

    Along with this launch, Google is now also offering workflows on the Google Cloud Platform that allows genomic researchers to easily deploy workflows that incorporate DeepVariant.
