GIAB Benchmarking of HG002 Assemblies from HPRC Year 1 Bakeoff

Published by National Institute of Standards and Technology | National Institute of Standards and Technology | Metadata Last Checked: August 02, 2025 | Last Modified: 2021-12-20 00:00:00
The Human Pangenome Reference Consortium (HPRC) tested which combination of current genome sequencing and automated assembly approaches yields the most complete, accurate, and cost-effective diploid genome assemblies with minimal manual curation. Assemblies were generated for GIAB HG002. Variant calls from twenty-nine assemblies were evaluated by NIST using dipcall v0.3 (https://github.com/lh3/dipcall) to produce variant calls when aligned to GRCh38. Benchmarking of small variant calls was then performed against GIAB benchmark v4.2.1 using hap.py v3.12 (https://github.com/Illumina/hap.py).
