Table 1. Performance of small variant calling with CCS reads.

Precision, recall, and F1 of small variant calling measured against the Genome in a Bottle v3.3.2 benchmark using hap.py. Bold indicates the highest value in each column. Underline indicates a value higher than the GATK HaplotypeCaller run on 30-fold Illumina NovaSeq reads. Coverage is 28-fold for PacBio CCS and 30-fold for Illumina NovaSeq. Rows are sorted (“^”) based on F1 for SNVs.
