+Call improvement and phasing
+
+This is ''phase 2'' project.
+
+'''Background.''' We plan to use phased genotypes from GvNL for further imputations. In this, we need high quality of both genotypes and the phasing.
+
+'''Problems.''' It is well recognized that at 12x there is an essential chance that a heterozygous genotype will not be called (estimated roughly as ~1%). Furthermore, for a given individual a certain proportion of the genome will not be covered well; the genotypes at these regions can not be called or will be called with low quality. The effects of such errors and missing data onto further imputations may be large. Other factor affecting quality of further imputations is quality of phasing.
+
+'''Proposed solution.''' All above problems can be address in the same framework. Basically, phasing information provides us with the means to fill in missing genotypes and correct erroneously called ones. For example, if in a person coverage is low at a certain regions, we can use information from the first degree relative to figure out what genotypes are there. Sequencing errors can be detected in very much the same way. Thus, phasing and imputations provide us with an attractive opportunity to minimize sequencing errors and proportion of missing data.
+
+This work package ''aims to'':
+
+·         Improve quality of sequence genotypes data by fixing errors and filling in missing values
+
+·         Phase the genotypes
+
+''Detailed workflow'' is summarized in a separate document.
+
+''Estimated costs'': 6 months of experienced !PostDoc at 1.0 fte + BI/programmer at 0.5 fte + supervisor at 0.1 fte.
+
+''Suggested timeline:'' January 2011 – July 2011 (???)
+
+''Depends on:'' availability of QC’ed genotypes from phase 1
+
+''Other projects depending on this:'' imputations (hard), population genetics (LD, hard), functional variants (final catalogue, soft), novel variants discovery (final catalogue, soft).
+
+'''Major deliverables'''
+
+ * Novel      methods and software
+ * Improved      genotypes
+ * Phasing      information
