  • little mutations were found by samtools mpileup

    HI:
    I used samtools mpileup to to find mutations. My sample genome is relative small and the coverage is about 1000X (illumina paired-end 90bp)

    I used following code to generate VCF:
    samtools view -bS sample.sam > sample.bam#generate bam
    samtools sort sample.bam sample.sorted.bam#sort bam
    samtools mpileup -ugf sample.fas sample.sorted.bam | bcftools view -vcg > sample.vcf#generate VCF file

    In my vcf output, There are just two mutations, but I visulized the sam file in IGV and found lots of mutations. I supposed those mutations is filter out because of bad qc, So I used "-Q 0 -q 0 -C 0" but no more mutations were found.
    Are there other parameters I didn`t found?

    Any sugestions will be appreciated!

    Try

    samtools mpileup -Bugf sample.fas sample.sorted.bam | bcftools view -vcg > sample.vcf#generate VCF file
    Sometimes, the BAQ corrections kill good mutations.

      Thank you for your reply, I try -B, but no more mutations were found.
      Any one know what`s wrong?
      The version of samtools is 0.1.18 (r982:295)

        Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
        by seqadmin


        The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist on Modified Bases...

        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...
