Using VarScan 2 for Germline Variant Calling and Somatic Mutation Detection

TL;DR: VarScan 2 as discussed by the authors employs heuristic and statistic thresholds based on user-defined criteria to call variants using SAMtools mpileup data as input, and describes protocols for using VarScan 2 to identify germline variants in individual samples, call somatic mutations, copy number alterations, and LOH events in tumor-normal pairs.
