Recently got a project on human data. It is easy to find out all the mutations. But how do I exclude all the know Polymorphisms, any approach? Thanks!

A common approach is to annotate your results with the information from dbSNP, 1000 Genomes, Exome Variant Server .
These databases have information on previously described SNPs and their frequency in several populations.
You can download these databases and annotate your vcf files with them using snpSift annotate.

Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.
The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
