    The processed reads are aligned to the reference genome by BWA Mem [30] and various coverage statistics are taken by SAMtools coverage/bedcov [31].
    BWA
    suggested: (BWA, RRID:SCR_010910)
    SAMtools
    suggested: (SAMTOOLS, RRID:SCR_002105)
    The alignment is used further for single nucleotide variant (SNV) calling using LoFreq [32].

    suggested: (LoFreq, RRID:SCR_013054)
    Figures and deconvolution plots are done with ggplot2 [39].

    suggested: (ggplot2, RRID:SCR_014601)
    All details and code can be found on the pipelines repository: https://github.com/BIMSBbioinfo/pigx_sarscov2_ww Sample scoring for quality check: With the provided BED file for the signature mutations listed in the mutation sheet a coverage analysis is performed using BEDtools coverage [40] within the pipeline.

    suggested: (BEDTools, RRID:SCR_006646)
    Reproducible environment: The presented results were produced using PiGx SARS-CoV-2 version 0.03 commit 2603b275106a2a96a422dcfba61554f4d9c0d780.

    About SciScore

    SciScore is an automated tool that is designed to assist expert reviewers by finding and presenting formulaic information scattered throughout a paper in a standard, easy to digest format. SciScore checks for the presence and correctness of RRIDs (research resource identifiers), and for rigor criteria such as sex and investigator blinding. For details on the theoretical underpinning of rigor criteria and the tools shown here, including references cited, please follow this link.
