    Help with a probably bad variant call

    Hello all,

    i have a variant from a ION PGM sequencing, called with the ION Torrent variant caller plugin

    CHR POS ID REF ALT

    chr22 44324726 . T TG
    The flow cell evaluator say this is a insertion

    GT:AOP:FAO:FDP:FRO:FSAF:FSAR:FSRF:FSRR:GQ:RO:SAF:SAR:SRF:SRR
    1/1:5:27:27:27:0:16:11:0:0:11:22:0:5:16:6
    You see FSAF = 16, FSAR = 11, FSRF = 0, FSRR = 0, but the observations are

    SAF = 0, SAR=5, SRF=16, SRR=6

    if i look the alignment in IGV i see the following




    i check in dbSNP and in the position 44324727 a well known C/G snp 1KG MAF G=0.284 rs738409

    and the T variant at position 44324730 is also known rs738408



    So in my opinion is more likely a C/G rs738409 SNP, than a novel insertion, and even more it looks like a strand bias because the observed alternate allele as an insertion is only in the reverse strand.



    What's you opinion?

        Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
        by SEQadmin2


        I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

        Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

        From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
        by SEQadmin2


        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.
