    vcf snp genotype

    I made snp calls on a set of 14 samples with samtools mpileup.

    How do I determine the genotype call in a particular sample from the vcf file?

    An example entry (some fields omitted for clarity) is:

    chr10 4770821 G T,C,A 999 1/1:84,15,0,84,15,84,78,1,78,75:6:26 1/1:0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0:0:11 1/1:0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0:0:11 1/1:0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0:0:11 1/1:57,15,0,57,15,57,57,15,57,57:5:26 1/1:79,15,0,79,15,79,79,15,79,79:5:26 1/1:0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0:0:11 1/1:0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0:0:11 1/1:0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0:0:11 1/1:90,15,0,90,15,90,90,15,90,90:5:26 1/1:0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0:0:11 1/1:62,47,41,28,0,13,62,47,28,62:7:17 1/1:65,16,7,55,0,52,65,16,55,65:4:20 1/1:84,15,0,84,15,84,84,15,84,84:5:26

    (GT: PL: DP: GQ)

    I thought a GT field of 1/1 would mean the TT genotype, but all of the sample have this genotype, so I am confused as to where the other alternate snp calls are coming from? Also, what does it mean when all of the PL scores are 0?

    Thanks!

    Here's the quote form the vcf format page, from the 1000 genomes project.

    The all 0's probably means that you have no read there. Even your other ones have very low DP's. I'd check the pileup to see which columns mean which combination of alleles, and I wouldn't think much of the data at loci like that where the coverage is so poor.

      Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

      Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing

      I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

      Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
