    SNP calling software in pooled samples

    I have some very deep seq data for a small genomic region (50kb) - generated in pooled samples using SOLiD - and I am looking to discover rare variants.

    Can anyone recommend any good SNP callers for pooled data? So far I have tried GATK (which is not suitable), VarScan, Syzygy and standard pileup (samtools). Anyone able to suggest other I should check out? Thanks

      The list in the software wiki is always growing (category: SNP discovery. It might be worth having a second category for ones which work on pools -- I'm sure there are some you haven't listed (though I have not tried any of them).

      It looks like SNPSeeker and CRISP definitely fall in that categoryl; I think QCALL is not in this space but I could easily be wrong.

        The exactly same topic has been discussed in the samtools list a couple of days ago.

          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.

          Environmental Genomics in the Age of NGS: From Microbes to Conservation Strategies
          by SEQadmin2

          Studying ecosystems means dealing with complex, multi-species communities that are hard to observe at scale. This complexity, however, hides many important questions to be answered, from how biogeochemical cycles work and how climate change can affect species distribution to how conservation strategies can work best.


          Genomics, particularly since the expansion of NGS, has transformed ecosystem ecology. By sequencing environmental DNA, we can now assess biodiversity without direct...
