    Multi-sample vs Single sample SNP calling for Linkage analysis

    Hi,

    We have performed SNP calling for 8 individuals with multi-sample approach and also individual SNP calling using GATK. Below are the few output lines from the outputs.

    Multisample SNP calling output:

    #CHROM POS ID REF ALT QUAL FILTER INFO FORMAT BC210 BC212 BC214 BC217 BC219 BC226 BC229 BC230
    chr1 356 . G T 179.43 . AC=7;AF=0.583;AN=12;BaseQRankSum=-0.787;DP=1455;Dels=0.00;FS=0.000;HaplotypeScore=1.4705;MLEAC=8;MLEAF=0.667;MQ=2.17;MQ0=1408;MQRankSum=-1.740;QD=0.23;ReadPosRankSum=2.837 GT:ADP:GQ:PL 0/1:62,121:184:17:19,0,17
    ./. 0/0:81,94:176:3:0,3,24 1/1:45,138:181:6:54,6,0 1/1:74,108:182:9:84,9,0 ./.
    1/1:46,141:183:6:61,6,0 0/0:55,109:165:3:0,3,23
    chr1 389 . T G 178.50 . AC=6;AF=0.375;AN=16;BaseQRankSum=-0.775;DP=202;Dels=0.00;FS=26.344;HaplotypeScore=0.7725;MLEAC=6;MLEAF=0.375;MQ=12.37;MQ0=75;MQRankSum=-4.220;QD=1.08;ReadPosRankSum=0.073 GT:ADP:GQ:PL 0/1:21,21:42:35:35,0,116

    Output from Individual SNP calling but merged into a single VCF file:

    #CHROM POS ID REF ALT QUAL FILTER INFO FORMAT BC210 BC212 BC214 BC217 BC219 BC226 BC229 BC230
    chr1 356 . G T 45.01 . AC=4;AF=1.00;AN=4;DP=388;Dels=0.00;FS=0.000;HaplotypeScore=0.0000;MLEAC=2;MLEAF=1.00;MQ0=190;MQ=2.89;QD=0.17;SF=1,5 GT:GQP:PL:AD . . . . 1/1:9:182:84,9,0:84,100 . 1/1:6:188:61,6,0:49,144 .
    chr1 389 . T G 37.77 . AC=1;AF=0.500;AN=2;BaseQRankSum=-0.189;DP=33;Dels=0.00;FS=3.979;HaplotypeScore=2.9800;MLEAC=1;MLEAF=0.500;MQ0=12;MQ=12.44;MQRankSum=-1.474;QD=1.14;ReadPosRankSum=-0.794;SF=5 GT:GQP:PL:AD . .
    . . 0/1:59:32:66,0,59:16,16 . . .


    As we can see that multisample SNP calling output has genotypes for most of the samples whereas the output from single sample SNP calling shows "." for some individuals.

    How should we interpret both the outputs. Is the output from single sample SNP calling more specific than multisample SNP calling or is it viceversa?

    I would like to use these genotypes to convert into ped format and perform linkage analysis. Could someone suggest which of these outputs should be used to do so.

    Thanks in advance!!

    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
    by GATTACAT
    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.
