    GATK, Homozygous Ref and GQ

    When I force GATK to call SNPs that are homozygous for the reference, it fails to provide a GQ. I realize that the GQ is dependent on an estimation of the frequency of the alternate, which doesn't make too much sense for monomorphic sites, but we want to use GQ as a filter for valid calls, since GQ and QUAL are so different.

    Version 1.0 of GATK did provide this information, but apparently that changed as they fixed some bugs.

    Does anyone know of a trick to get GATK to produce the GQ for those sites? If not, what do folks who need to know that a homozygous for reference call is valid (such as when you are comparing blood calls with tumor base counts).

    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
