    Delly output

    Hi,
    I am new to using Delly, and trying to figure out what it's output means in human terms so that I can write a script to annotate it. Here is an example output of the deletions:

    HWI-ST885:8214D0ACXX:6:1301:8077:53399 81 GL397261 3815017 37 = 3813982 -1134 Library0
    HWI-ST885:8214D0ACXX:6:2108:4240:66697 97 GL397261 3814043 37 = 3815021 1077 Library0
    HWI-ST885:8214D0ACXX:6:1205:15152:6125 81 GL397261 3815026 37 = 3814044 -1081 Library0
    HWI-ST885:8214D0ACXX:6:2105:17871:91060 81 GL397261 3814993 96 = 3814054 -1026 Library0
    ---------------------------------------------
    GL397261 3814154 3814993 839 4 38.2494 >Deletion_xxx_00000031<

    I get the last part after the 4 calls (i.e., after the dashes) which is saying there is a 839 bp log deletion from GL397261 from the 4 calls with an average.mapping quality of 38.2494

    My question is how does it make this decision, it does not make sense to me. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Just as a self note, assuming the first call is from 3815017 to 3813982 that is a distance of 1035 so why 1134 it is 99 bp off; in fact they are all off by 99. Maybe something to do with the read length of 100?
    The negative probably means the directionality (makes sense that way).
    of the 4 calls the smallest number (i.e., start point) is 14054 and the largest (i.e., end point) is 3815026. But these are not the start and end points of the call. Rather it is 3814154 (the read length of 100 is added?) and the end point is the smallest of right hand (flipped if there is a neg) which is 3814993.

    All of this said, I am just trying to visualize it to understand it but it does not make sense to my why things are this way.

      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

      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.
