  Description     : Pacific Biosciences variant and consensus caller

The GenomicConsensus package provides Quiver, Pacific Biosciences'
flagship consensus and variant caller. Quiver is an algorithm that finds
the maximum likelihood template sequence given PacBio reads of the template.
These reads are modeled using a conditional random field approach that
prescribes a probability to a read given a template sequence. In addition to
the base sequence of each read, Quiver uses several additional quality value
covariates that the base caller provides.

This package is part of the SMRTAnalysis suite (#787977), to be built and
maintained by the Debian Med team.
