Constructed from the consensus of multiple variant callers based on short-read data, existing benchmark datasets for evaluating variant calling accuracy are biased toward easy regions accessible by known algorithms. We derived a new benchmark dataset from the de novo PacBio assemblies of two human cell lines that are homozygous across the whole genome. This benchmark provides a more accurate and less biased estimate of the error rate of small variant calls in a realistic context.
