NGS Pathway analysis for Trio

Hi everyone!

I am looking for a tool for pathway analysis of next generation sequencing data of a trio (the child is sick with some neurological disease). Does anyone have recommended tool or tools for such a task?

Thank you

You're looking for a pipeline, not a tool. You will have to go through the routine of QC, alignment and variant calling and then use a pedigree to phase the variants, then annotate using KEGG/GO databases before moving on to pathway enrichment analyses.

regarding the last step u mentioned, after phasing the mutations, is there a pathway analysis tool that takes into consideration if the mutations are from a paternal or a maternal origin ?
