The document describes a study that aimed to validate insertions and deletions (INDELs) identified in the Genome in a Bottle (GIAB) reference standard by comparing calls made by FreeBayes and GATK variant callers. Researchers analyzed sequencing data from the NA12878 genome using the two callers and GIAB, generating 7 variant lists. They selected 150 random INDELs from each list and designed primers to amplify the regions, then validated the variants using MiSeq sequencing. The results helped improve understanding of the variant callers and the GIAB standard for INDEL calls.
