[FreeBayes](http://arxiv.org/abs/1207.3907) is a
[Bayesian](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayesian_inference) genetic
variant detector designed to find small polymorphisms, specifically SNPs
(single-nucleotide polymorphisms), indels (insertions and deletions),
MNPs (multi-nucleotide polymorphisms), and complex events (composite
insertion and substitution events) smaller than the length of a
short-read sequencing alignment.
