  • Doubts regarding samtools mpileup - Call somatic mutations from a pair of samples ?

    I am trying to compare two samples for somatic mutations using Samtools mpileup. (RNAseq data)


    The two .bam files or samples I am comparing include multiple samples merged together into them (3 .bam files in one and 8 in other- merged using samtools merge)

    The command given in the manual
    ( " samtools mpileup -DSuf ref.fa aln.bam | bcftools view -bvcgT pair - > var.bcf" ) doesnt specify the number of samples (inputs)

    I used this command

    samtools mpileup -DSuf ref.fa aln1.bam aln2.bam | bcftools view -bvcgT pair - > var.bcf

    It gives me back the error saying
    "[mpileup] 1 samples in 2 input files
    <mpileup> Set max per-file depth to 8000
    [afs] 0:0.000"

    I also tried to make a sample.txt file for the two samples (merged files) and used this command

    "samtools mpileup -DSuf ref.fa aln1.bam aln2.bam | bcftools view -bvcgT pair -s samples.txt - > var.bcf "

    I still get an error (different error)

    Is there anything wrong here ?

    What should be the ideal steps to find out somatic variants between two samples ? (samples include multiple bam files merged together)

    Please suggest me some steps to be followed in order to find out somatic variants by comparing two samples using samtools mpileup

    Thanks!

      Do you have read group information specified in the two files?

        Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
        by seqadmin


        Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
