  • the "--heterozygosity" flag in GATK unifiedGenotyper

    Hi all,
    I am using the unifiedgenotyper and have a question about the "--heterozygosity" flag.

    The default is "0.001". Does this mean that at a particular site, if this percentage of bases is the alternate allele, then the site will be called a het? Also, is this based on each individual sample, or the combined for all samples together.

    Essentially, what I would like to do, is set a parameter in which a sample will be a het where at least 10% of the alleles are the alternate base, and to do this for each individual sample.

    as an example. I got this set of genotypes:
    GT:ADP:GQ:PL 0/0:86,15:96:56:0,56,3283 0/1:36,36:72:99:1111,0,1293

    These are at the same site. with ~17 of the sites being the alternate in the first sample, why is it being called as an "0/0".

    It is possible I am just not understanding some of the principal points of everything (and there are probably multiple questions here).

    Thanks for help...

    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...

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
