Mitochondrial Genome Variant Calling and Annotation Tools

Question

[adarsh]

Hi,

I have Illumina data generated from Mitochondrial DNA by amplicon approach. I need to perform variant calling and annotation. Custom annotations like population allele frequency, haplogroup identification, etc also need to be done. For this I need an end-to-end pipeline like MToolBox. However this tools is very old and no longer supported.

Are there any other alternative pipelines available that can directly take fastq files from amplicon sequencing. I saw tools like Mity and mitopy. But those are developed for whole genome data and requires a WGS aligned BAM.

Please help me with some suggestions on how to proceed.

Thanks

mtDNA-Server 2 is a Nextflow DSL2 pipeline to accurately detect heteroplasmic and homoplasmic variants in mitochondrial (mtDNA) genomes, details can be found in our NAR publication.
