optiCall

optiCall is a robust genotype-calling algorithm for calling rare, low-frequency and common variants from SNP microarray intensity data.

It uses both within and across sample intensity information to accurately ascertain genotypes from across the minor allele frequency spectrum.

optiCall works by first taking a random subset of intensity measures, both within and across samples. The subset is used to define regions of high probability for the three genotype classes. Genotypes are then called on a per SNP basis, with all samples overlaid onto the probability regions, which are incorporated as a data-derived.prior during clustering. In this way common variants are seen as three clouds in a per SNP view, and rare variants are called based on the intensity region in which they fall.
