Tools to call Large indels/structural variations in whole genome BAM data of mouse strain?

Hi everyone,

I would like to know if there are tools to call large indels/structural variations in data of mouse strain.

I have bam files obtained online from ftp://ftp-mouse.sanger.ac.uk/REL-1905-BAM/. The data was aligned to GRCm38. For reference genome I have fasta file. I specifically want to detect large deletions present in mouse strain.

Please help.

Thanks

Thanks for help. Any other alternative software. I could not understand the package well.

Two recent SV benchmarking papers are:

GRIDSS and manta are currently the best performing short read breakpoint callers, not sure about what the best-in-class CNV caller is.
