Originally posted by combiochem View PostThanks for sharing tips. Actually, the reads were aligned by BWA, so it's better to consider INDELs. Have you used '-E' option (Extended BAQ computation) too?
For my projects, false positives are not that big a problem. I'm looking for candidate phenotype-causing SNPs most of the time, so sanger-checking a modest number of false positives is not a big deal. But I don't want to miss the real deal because the software was overzealous in trying to help me, so it's safer for me to turn it off entirely.
But it's good to know that in your tests, -E worked about as well as -B.

I wouldn't filter out indels, unless you were using an aligner that you know can't handle them.

samtools/mpileup heterozygous SNPs calling
I'm trying to get heterozygous SNPs from illumina DNA sequencing data.
I've used samtools/mpileup pipeline and have some questions about the options.
There are many posts related in the BAQ calculation. As known, the calculation is default and if the options -B is used, more SNPs could be detected (sacrificing the specificity). I've tested with my samples and the difference is almost ~2x or ~3x difference. (-uf vs -Buf, -Euf didn't make a big difference compared -uf)
Is there anyone with experience with -B -E and -I options?
Actually, we are not interested in INDELs so I thought that the option -I could be used for ignoring INDELs calling.
But when I compared the results (for heterozygous SNPs) with -I and without -I, many detected heterozygous SNPs in the results with -I option are actually the INDELs cases in the results without -I option. So is it better to ignore those SNPs, in another word, should I "not" use the -I option?
I really want to know the appropriate options for calling heterozygous SNPs.Tags: None

The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...-

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-
