    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

    Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
    by SEQadmin2



    Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

    Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
    by SEQadmin2



    Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

    There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

    Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
    by GATTACAT
    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.
