  • 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...

    Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
    by seqadmin


    The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist on Modified Bases...

    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...
