    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.

        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
