It is much faster and uses much less memory than Picard and other tools. It generates very informative reports in both HTML and JSON formats. It's based on an algorithm for `generating consensus reads`, and that's why it's named `gencore`. Basically, `gencore` groups the reads derived from the same original DNA template, merges them by generating a consensus read, which contains much less errors than the original reads.
