Popis: Comprehensive and accurate detection of variants from whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is a strong prerequisite for translational genomic medicine; however, low concordance between analytic pipelines is an outstanding challenge. We processed a European and an African WGS samples with 70 analytic pipelines comprising the combination of 7 short-read aligners and 10 variant calling algorithms (VCAs), and observed remarkable differences in the number of variants called by different pipelines (max/min ratio: 1.3~3.4). The similarity between variant call sets was more closely determined by VCAs rather than by short-read aligners. Remarkably, reported minor allele frequency had a substantial effect on concordance between pipelines (concordance rate ratio: 0.11~0.92; Wald tests, P
