Introduction

picard is a set of Java command-line tools for manipulating high-throughput sequencing (HTS) data and formats. it is implemented using the HTSJDK Java library HTSJDK to support accessing file formats that are commonly used for high-throughput sequencing data such as SAM and VCF. ¹

It was programmed by Phoenix HPC Service of The University of Adelaide, Australia.
