Welcome to kevlar, software for predicting de novo genetic variants without mapping reads to a reference genome! kevlar's k-mer abundance based method calls single nucleotide variants (SNVs), multinucleotide variants (MNVs), insertion/deletion variants (indels), and structural variants (SVs) simultaneously with a single simple model. This software is free for use under the MIT license.
