    Just for your records, Varscan really had a bug when filtering bases according to its quality. This happened regardless of the mpileup recalibration, since I inputted dummy pileup files created by myself. Actually, samtools also goes wrong for base quality filtering (I do not know if they fixed it, no one answered me).

    Anyway, the last version of Varscan states that this was fixed. I have to thank Dan Kobold for his work and for updating his tool according to user's feedback!

    Soon I will use the Varscan2, I am really interested in the somatic SNP false positive filter and in the detection of copy number changes from exome seq. I will feedback my experience!

      a comparison of mutation callers

      This paper (at http://genomemedicine.com/content/5/10/91/) compares popular mutation callers, including VarScan 2 and MuTect, using validated data.

        Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
        by seqadmin


        Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...

        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...
