# XOOS Analysis Tools

## Introduction

XOOS (SB**X** **O**ptimized **O**pen **S**ource) analysis tools are a comprehensive suite of bioinformatics tools designed and optimized for processing SBX data generated on the AXELIOS platform. This **early access release** focuses specifically on germline small variant calling (SNVs and indels) for SBX-Duplex (SBX-D) WGS data, transforming aligned reads into high-quality, analysis-ready variant calls.

As an **open source solution**, XOOS is freely available for the scientific community to adopt, customize, and enhance. We encourage users to:

* **Adapt** the tools to your specific needs
* **Configure** parameters and workflows for your computational environment
* **Extend** functionality with additional tools and analysis modules
* **Contribute back** improvements, bug fixes, and new features to benefit the SBX community

All XOOS analysis tools source code is hosted on [GitHub](https://github.com/Roche-AXELIOS/XOOS), please see [Releases](https://github.com/Roche-AXELIOS/XOOS/releases) for latest release notes, and [Packages](https://github.com/orgs/Roche-AXELIOS/packages?repo_name=XOOS) for pre-built Docker images.
