Cake: a bioinformatics pipeline for the integrated analysis of somatic variants in cancer genomes

Bioinformatics. 2013 Sep 1;29(17):2208-10. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btt371. Epub 2013 Jun 25.

Abstract

We have developed Cake, a bioinformatics software pipeline that integrates four publicly available somatic variant-calling algorithms to identify single nucleotide variants with higher sensitivity and accuracy than any one algorithm alone. Cake can be run on a high-performance computer cluster or used as a stand-alone application. Availabilty: Cake is open-source and is available from http://cakesomatic.sourceforge.net/
