+samtools sort [-nof] [-m maxMem] <in.bam> <out.prefix>
Sort alignments by leftmost coordinates. File
.I <out.prefix>.bam

.BI -m \ INT
Approximately the maximum required memory. [500000000]
.RE
Collecting indel candidates from reads sequenced by an indel-prone
technology may affect the performance of indel calling.
+Note that there is a new calling model which can be invoked by
+
+ bcftools view -m0.99 ...
+
+which fixes some severe limitations of the default method.
+
+For filtering, best results seem to be achieved by first applying the
+.IR SnpGap
+filter and then applying some machine learning approach
+
+ vcf-annotate -f SnpGap=n
+ vcf filter ...
+
+Both can be found in the
+.B vcftools
+and
+.B htslib
+package (links below).
