You'll have a call for every read covering that site, note the depth column. While Phred scores are just log10 values, they're usually encoded in ASCII by first adding 33 to the Phred score. The information provided in a pileup won't be useful for splicing, but it could help with finding RNA editing and other modifications (at least if they're observable in sequencing). Whether you want to use the pileup or just the VCF is sort of up to you.

ok I understood the output that mpileup give me.
Now I think that should exist a "script" to translate the output.. I mean: if I have ....,. in the output it means I have 6 reads in total in that X position in which 5 reads are forward and 1 is reverse. I think that for a normal py script, to do this kind of translation could be easy..Comment

Yeah, that'd be pretty straight-forward to do in most languages. I should note that there is a C API for this whole process if you prefer that.Comment

before starting to make a script, I tried VarScan..
Reading input from Pileup_merge.pileup (VARSCAN)
chrM 1 G 4 3 G:3:1:21:1:0:3:0
chrM 2 G 4 4 G:4:1:24:1:0:4:0
chrM 3 A 4 4 A:4:1:24:1:0:4:0
chrM 4 T 4 3 T:3:1:23:1:0:3:0
chrM 5 C 2 1 C:1:1:24:1:0:1:0
chrM 6 C 4 3 C:3:1:23:1:0:3:0
mpileup file:
chrM 1 G 4 ^*,^7,^7,^*, 5529
chrM 2 G 4 ,,,, 7;8=
chrM 3 A 4 ,,,, 7:7=
chrM 4 T 4 ,,,, 465=
chrM 5 C 2 ,, 19
chrM 6 C 4 ,,,, 465=
A part that VARSCAN give me error after 300 positions (I ll think after about this error), I don t see the link between these 2 output..Comment

You might consider starting another thread. I'm unfamiliar with varscan's output and you're more likely to find someone who is if you start a thread mentioning varscan in the subject.Comment

Ok, I think it is a good idea..
Anyway thank dpryan for all your suggests. I appreciated them so much

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...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
