Is there a tool or script that can help identify false positives from a BAM file? Thanks.

False-positive what? Alignments? Filter by MAPQ. -
We use Ion Torrent PGM sequencing and use the aligned hg19 BAM in NextGene. I know that TVC is better at removing false positive variants, presumably because it has access to the SFF file and which contain signal values in flow space and a mapping between sequence. Is there a preferred or optimal way to asses MAPQ in the BMA alignment? Thanks.Last edited by cmccabe; 08-25-2014, 06:07 AM.Comment

As NextGene is a commercial package, you should ask the company that makes it for suggestions. You'll generally find that the community won't provide any support/feedback for such packages.Comment

I have contacted them and explained the issue. I am sure that future versions of the software will get better, but in the meantime I want to ensure that we are providing the best information possible. I am looking for some ideas from community members in developing a perl script to help address this. Some of the false positive calls have great PhreD scores (> 20), with good balance, so I am stumped. Thanks.Comment

The immune system’s power comes from its genetic diversity, allowing myriad threats to be neutralized through first recognizing foreign antigens. That diversity is also what makes the immune system so difficult to study. Recent advances in sequencing technology and computational biology, however, are giving researchers new tools to understand immune responses and immune-related diseases in greater detail.
