    GATK UnifiedGenotyper calling way too many SNPs in vcf

    Alignments were done with bwa, paired end, converted to .bam and sorted with samtools.

    The following command works as expected. It makes a vcf file that is 10 kb, which is right.

    java -jar ../../../../GATK/1.1.23/GenomeAnalysisTK.jar -T UnifiedGenotyper -R genome3.fasta -I sort_filtered.bam -o GATK/regular.vcf -L Staphylococcus:164665-2689091 -dcov 100
    The following command makes a vcf file that is 57.5 kb

    java -jar ../../../../GATK/1.1.23/GenomeAnalysisTK.jar -T UnifiedGenotyper -R genome3.fasta -I sort_filtered.bam -o GATK/regular.vcf -L Staphylococcus:164663-2689091 -dcov 100
    What happens is that at base 2256558, something gets off by a base, so that it calls another 300,000 SNPs, because it's all out of sync. This doesn't happen in the first command, even though it covered almost exactly the same ground. The fasta looks fine. Has anyone else ever observed this?

    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
