  • Flagstat vs. Picard AlignmentSummaryMetrics

    Hi everyone,

    I am having a bit of trouble making ends meet with this two tools.
    I have a whole genome realigned with GATK and am trying to get the alignment stats to report. I tried samtools and picard only to find different numbers reported:

    Total Reads:

    picard: 1206005136
    samtools: 1209724136
    dif: 3719000

    This same difference is also found in the mapped/aligned totals. The percentages aligned are the same (99.7). Also, Picard shows exact numbers
    I guess there is some difference in the way the programs handle flags.
    Also, I tried removing the duplicates with both programs, samtools and picard, but no methot equated the numbers. More so, flagstat reported duplicates after RMDUP (but not after picard filter reads).

    Does anyone know why this is happening and what can I do to equate the summaries, or how to choose between both?

    Thanks in advance for all the help.

    PS, These are the numbers:

    Flagstat:

    1209724136 + 0 in total (QC-passed reads + QC-failed reads)
    146098358 + 0 duplicates
    1206039846 + 0 mapped (99.70%:-nan%)
    1209724136 + 0 paired in sequencing
    604530215 + 0 read1
    605193921 + 0 read2
    1172988734 + 0 properly paired (96.96%:-nan%)
    1203916910 + 0 with itself and mate mapped
    2122936 + 0 singletons (0.18%:-nan%)
    23043913 + 0 with mate mapped to a different chr
    11749717 + 0 with mate mapped to a different chr (mapQ>=5)

    I've run into this today also, so would be interested to hear what causes the difference:

    Without listing all the stats, an example is the number of properly paired reads reported by FlagStat:

    13990908 + 0 properly paired (94.85%:-nan%)

    Compared to Picard:

    PCT_READS_ALIGNED_IN_PAIRS
    FIRST_OF_PAIR 0.992012
    SECOND_OF_PAIR 0.995876
    PAIR 0.99394

            Genetic Variation in Immunogenetics and Antibody Diversity
            by seqadmin



            The field of immunogenetics explores how genetic variations influence immune responses and susceptibility to disease. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, Oscar Rodriguez, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Louisville, and Ruben Martínez Barricarte, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University, shared recent advancements in immunogenetics. This article discusses their research on genetic variation in antibody loci, antibody production processes,...
