It can rapidly detect related samples, characterise sample ancestry, calculate correlation between variants, check Mendel consistency and perform data clustering. AKT brings together the functionality of many state-of-the-art methods, with a focus on speed and a unified interface. We believe it will be an invaluable tool for the curation of large WGS data-sets.Availability The source code is available at https://illumina.github.io/aktContact joconnell{at}illumina.com, rudy.d.arthur{at}gmail.com ER -
