Good news, everyone! We just released GATK 4.7.0.0! Highlights include CRAM 3.1 read / write support via HTSJDK 5.0.0 and various other updates and fixes.
You can find it here:
github.com/broadinstitute/ga…
Be on the lookout for more updates soon!
As of May 1st 2025, GATK forums will be community-driven and self-moderated. They will not be moderated or monitored by a GATK team member. We encourage members of the community to continue to engage with each other on these forums. gatk.broadinstitute.org/hc/e…
GATK 4.6 is out with some much-requested changes to no-call behavior, plus an important CRAM bug fix. Check out the release notes (github.com/broadinstitute/ga…). This is definitely a recommended upgrade for all GATK users! #gatk

Pretending to be a biologist this week - am learning so much in the @BioInfoCambs / @broadinstitute course on using the @gatk_dev for variant discovery 🧬

ALT A red dragon sits at a desk in an office where the walls are lined with filled bookshelves. An open laptop on the desk displays a title slide with the words "DRAGEN-GATK" in white type on green background. To the dragon's right rests a black mug with a blue institutional logo on it. Amber light filters in through tall windows; it could be dawn or sunset. The view outside is of a distant mountain range.

Human geneticist know its been a nightmare to call reliable #CNVs from #exome. Fortunately @TalkowskiLab helps calling CNVs on our @broadinstitute-sequenced samples. Image our excitement with the new benchmarked algorithm #GATK-gCNV biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… #bioRxiv! Awesome!
