  • Getting FQ from bcftools 1.2

    I'm using samtools and bcftools to call hapmap snps from WGS data. With the older version of samtools the vcf file included FQ per site, but when I use the latest version (samtools/bcftools 1.2) it doesn't. I need FQ for a downstream program, so is there a way to force bcftools to output it?

    Here's what my code looks like now:

    Code:
    samtools mpileup -ugf hg19.fasta -l annotHapMap2L.txt $bam/$name.bam | bcftools call -mO v -o $vcf/$name.HM.vcf -V indels -P 0.5

    Current bcftools 1.x contains two calling methods: call -c is the original bcftools consensus caller, while call -m is a more recent multi-allelic caller. Only the consensus caller outputs FQ.

    If your downstream program is expecting to get old-bcftools-style input, you probably want to be using call -c.

      That works. Thanks!

        Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
        by seqadmin



        Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...

        Non-Coding RNA Research and Technologies
        by seqadmin




        Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) do not code for proteins but play important roles in numerous cellular processes including gene silencing, developmental pathways, and more. There are numerous types including microRNA (miRNA), long ncRNA (lncRNA), circular RNA (circRNA), and more. In this article, we discuss innovative ncRNA research and explore recent technological advancements that improve the study of ncRNAs.
