  • mpileup format

    I am using samtools mpileup to analyze my data, and have several lines like this:

    chr1 14976 G 5 <<><> HHHHH
    chr1 14977 C 5 <<><> HHHHH
    chr1 14978 C 5 <<><> HHHHH
    chr1 14979 T 5 <<><> HHHHH
    chr1 14980 C 5 <<><> HHHHH
    chr1 14981 A 5 <<><> HHHHH
    chr1 14982 T 5 <<><> HHHHH
    chr1 14983 G 5 <<><> HHHHH
    chr1 14984 A 5 <<><> HHHHH


    What are those ">" "<" or "*" mean in the reads base column? According to the description of the format (http://samtools.sourceforge.net/pileup.shtml), they should be only in the base qualities columns.

    samtools manual says they are " ’>’ or ’<’ for a reference skip".

        I am sorry to kick this thread alive but did someone figure out what "*" means in the reads base column? I cannot find any information on the homepage of Samtools.

          The deleted bases will be presented as ‘*’ in the following lines.

            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...
