  • SAMtools Options Issues - mpileup -I vcfutils.pl varfilter -w

    Hi Everyone,

    This is my first post in the community, and I am hoping that someone has run into this issue or something similar.

    I have been using samtools to call snps using a .bam file which I also created using samtools. I was only interested in snps and not indels, so I used the -I option in mpileup, in addition I was hoping to filter the snps using "vcfutils.pl varfilter -w 1000" in order to filter out an snps within 1kb of a gap.

    The issue, however, is that I only seem to be able to use one option or the other. That is, if I use -I to eliminate indels, then I can not use "-w 1000" to filter them, and I end up with the same number of snps (in fact the same file) no matter what value is used for -w. However, when I do not use the -I option, then I end up with a much smaller number of snps when using "-w 1000."

    I have provided the commands below:

    "-I -w1000" --> 26,395 snps ( results in same file as immediately below)

    >samtools mpileup -ugf referenceGenome.fasta sortedIndexed.bam -r Gm02:1000000-15000000 -E -S -C 60 -D -d 10000 -I | bcftools view -Nbcvg - > tmp.bcf

    >bcftools view tmp.bcf | vcfutils.pl varFilter -d 8 -D 100 -w 1000 - > result.vcf

    "-I -w100" --> 26,395 snps ( results in same file as immediately above)

    >samtools mpileup -ugf referenceGenome.fasta sortedIndexed.bam -r Gm02:1000000-15000000 -E -S -C 60 -D -d 10000 -I | bcftools view -Nbcvg - > tmp.bcf

    >bcftools view tmp.bcf | vcfutils.pl varFilter -d 8 -D 100 -w 100 - > result.vcf

    "-w1000" --> 7,444 snps

    >samtools mpileup -ugf referenceGenome.fasta sortedIndexed.bam -r Gm02:1000000-15000000 -E -S -C 60 -D -d 10000 | bcftools view -Nbcvg - > tmp.bcf

    >bcftools view tmp.bcf | vcfutils.pl varFilter -d 8 -D 100 -w 1000 - > result.vcf

    "-w100" --> 22,001 snps

    >samtools mpileup -ugf referenceGenome.fasta sortedIndexed.bam -r Gm02:1000000-15000000 -E -S -C 60 -D -d 10000 | bcftools view -Nbcvg - > tmp.bcf

    >bcftools view tmp.bcf | vcfutils.pl varFilter -d 8 -D 100 -w 100 - > result.vcf

    Are mpileup -I and vafilter -w incompatible? Again, thank you for any responses.

    Genetic Variation in Immunogenetics and Antibody Diversity
    by seqadmin


    The field of immunogenetics explores how genetic variations are responsible for different immune responses and vulnerability to disease. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, Oscar Rodriguez, Ph.D, Postdoctoral Researcher from the University of Louisville, and Ruben Martínez Barricarte, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University, shared recent advancements in immunogenetics. This article discusses their presented research on genetic variation in antibody loci, antibody...

    Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
    by seqadmin



    Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...
