    If you mean Heng Li's software, they are part of the latest samtools distribution, see
    http://samtools.sourceforge.net/

          If it is installed on your computer, typing bcftools at the commandline prompt should give you something like this:

          Code:
          $ bcftools 
          
          Program: bcftools (Tools for data in the VCF/BCF formats)
          Version: 0.1.17-dev (r973:277)
          
          Usage:   bcftools <command> <arguments>
          
          Command: view      print, extract, convert and call SNPs from BCF
                   index     index BCF
                   cat       concatenate BCFs
                   ld        compute all-pair r^2
                   ldpair    compute r^2 between requested pairs
          Otherwise, have a look in the samtools directory, there should be a subdirectory called bcftools.

            Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
            by SEQadmin2



            Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

            Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

            New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
            by SEQadmin2


            Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

            We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
