Truth sets for variant calling validation

Hi everyone!

I was looking for validated truth sets in order to test my custom pipeline for variant calling.

I've already found the ICGC-TCGA DREAM truth sets ( https://www.synapse.org/#!Synapse:syn312572/wiki/62018 ), and the genome in a bottle truth sets (http://jimb.stanford.edu/giab).

Can you suggest me additional sets?

variant calling validation truth sets

The NA12878 (human), among other samples, has been characterized by virtually every technology on the planet (Genome in a bottle project). So you should be able to find a truth set for that genome.

Hey Filippo, the ICGC set looks perfectly fine.

Obviously, the ideal situation is to perform 'in house' validation against a gold standard. In clinical genetics laboratories, the gold standad is still Sanger di-deoxy sequencing.
