Hi,

I'm looking for software that detects heteroplasmic variants in mtDNA and have not had much luck. Is there a program works well for calling these variants?

Thanks!

Shameless plug: you could use LoFreq. It was originally designed for relatively high coverage, low allele frequency data in mind. In the original publication we gave a micro-heteroplasmy example in the context of cancer.

Have you tried MitoSeek? We have found it pretty easy to work with.

Another shameless plug: you could use mtDNA-Server - it was designed just for this specific task - to determine heteroplasmy in mtDNA ngs data. It also performs a contamination check, based on haplotype / haplogroup checking.

For local usage I can recommend LoFreq - see Andreas answer! Hansi
