    Pindel - issue with converting raw output to VCF

    I'm trying to use pindel2VCF.

    I don't understand what the parameter "-d date" is used for.

    I am using hg19 as my human reference genome. But I do not remember in particular what is the date that corresponds to the exact version of the file.


    What should I put as date if I can't remember?

    Just use any date. I think a proper vcf file needs a header line like "##fileDate=26_Jun_2014". As long as you know, that the date might be wrong and you use the vcf just for your own analysis, it should be OK.

      pindel2vcf -R

      How about the reference name for hg19 human genome after -R, which is also required? Thanks!

        Pathogen Surveillance with Advanced Genomic Tools
        by seqadmin




        The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for proactive pathogen surveillance systems. As ongoing threats like avian influenza and newly emerging infections continue to pose risks, researchers are working to improve how quickly and accurately pathogens can be identified and tracked. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, two experts discussed how next-generation sequencing (NGS) and machine learning are shaping efforts to monitor viral variation and trace the origins of infectious...

        Investigating the Gut Microbiome Through Diet and Spatial Biology
        by seqadmin




        The human gut contains trillions of microorganisms that impact digestion, immune functions, and overall health1. Despite major breakthroughs, we’re only beginning to understand the full extent of the microbiome’s influence on health and disease. Advances in next-generation sequencing and spatial biology have opened new windows into this complex environment, yet many questions remain. This article highlights two recent studies exploring how diet influences microbial...
