What is Birdsuite/Birdseed and how do I access it?
Birdsuite is a fully open-source set of tools to detect and report SNP genotypes, common copy number polymorphisms (CNPs), and novel, rare or de novo copy number variants (CNVs) in samples processed with the Affymetrix platform. Birdseed is a tool that preceded Birdsuite and reports SNP genotypes. You can access Birdsuite through the Broad Institute’s software page. If possible, we will run all genotyping data through Birdsuite before providing it to you.
