    Varscan-output interpretation

    Hi all,

    I am new to NGS analysis. I have used bowtie (ver:bowtie-0.12.7) for aligning reference sequence (fastq format) with two paired end files of illumina reads (fastq format).
    I used SAM tools (ver:samtools-0.1.18) and made a 'mpileup' file.
    Then I have used Varscan (ver:.v2.2.11) for variant calling. I used "mpileup2snp" command (with default parameters) to determine SNV and for heterozygosity & homozygosity.
    My basic idea is to call heterozygous SNV with conservative filters, such as coverage, variant allele
    frequency, strand representation and p-value to isolate high-confidence calls.

    Using the command "mpileup2snp", I got the output as follows. Given 1 column as an example
    Chrom - gi|371443199|gb|JH556661.1|
    Position - 2594265
    Ref- G
    Var- C
    Cons:Cov:Reads1:Reads2:Freq:P-value- S:21:14:7:33.33%:4.3101E-3
    StrandFilter:R1+:R1-:R2+:R2-val- Fail:12:2:0:7:3.096E-4
    SamplesRef- 0
    SamplesHet- 1
    SamplesHom- 0
    SamplesNC - 0
    Cons:Cov:Reads1:Reads2:Freq:P-value- S:21:14:7:33.33%:4.3101E-3

    1.Please let me know whether I am using the correct command to call heterzygous SNV with high-confidence calls(whether I have to use mpileup2snp or mpileup2indel or mpileup2cns?)

    2.Can I parse these variant call by chromosome?. How Can I do that?

    3.Is it possible to view regions of high and low heterozygosity in the genome?. If possible, how can I do that?

    Thanks in advance

    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
    by SEQadmin2


    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...
