    Samtools mpileup_Paired Tumoral / Germline_keep only somatic mutations

    I performed a genomic capture (Agilent technologie, SureSelect Target Enrichment System for Illumina Paired-end Sequencing) with paired tumoral and constitutional DNAs.
    I created a .bam file for each both. I used bwa for alignment and samtools to create my bam file.
    Now, I would like to call somatic mutations from these pair of samples (Tumoral vs Germline) with samtools (example of commands : samtools mpileup -DSuf ref.fa aln.bam | bcftools view -bvcgT pair - > var.bcf ). The goal is to eliminate all the commons mutations present in the two samples in order to keep only the somatic mutations.
    Anybody can help me to understand how to realize this step?
    What is the command for samtools ?
    Thank you very much for your help

    did you check VarScan? It declares somatic state for each SNP/indel and provides some nice statistics by inputting the pileup files of the tumor/normal samples.

      Sam64, it sounds like VarScan might be better suited to your needs.

        16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
        by SEQadmin2




        NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...

        Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
        by SEQadmin2



        Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

        Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating
