Description
Description of feature
Hi,
My understanding is that rastair should be able to also call/genotype DNA variants, not only methylation. From my understanding, this is not possible with nfcore/methylseq yet right? Would it be of interest?
That is something we would be interested to do with our TAPS data but we would need it to be integrated in some official-ish pipeline.
I have been looking at the current module used in the pipeline. Originally wanted to just modify the $args of the process itself and get the vcf out.[^1] I feel with the current module it would be a bit weird to run rastair in calling mode?
[^1]: I also submitted a separate issue in the modules repo regarding a separate problem - here.
