BLAST (Stephen Altschul, Warren Gish, Webb Miller, Eugene Myers, and David J. Lipman)

BWA (Heng Li, Richard Durbin)

Samtools (Heng Li)

GATK (from the GATK Team; DePristo, M., Banks, E., Poplin, R., Garimella, K., Maguire, J., Hartl., C., Philippakis, A., del Angel, G., Rivas, M.A, Hanna, M., McKenna, A., Fennell, T. Kernytsky, A., Sivachenko, A, Cibulskis, K., Gabriel, S., Altshuler, D. and Daly, M. A)
