ivar - 1.4.4+dfsg-1 main

iVar is a computational package that contains functions broadly useful
for viral amplicon-based sequencing. Additional tools for metagenomic
sequencing are actively being incorporated into iVar. While each of
these functions can be accomplished using existing tools, iVar contains
an intersection of functionality from multiple tools that are required
to call iSNVs and consensus sequences from viral sequencing data across
multiple replicates. iVar provided the following functions:
.
1. trimming of primers and low-quality bases,
2. consensus calling,
3. variant calling - both iSNVs and insertions/deletions, and
4. identifying mismatches to primer sequences and excluding the
corresponding reads from alignment files.
