    Hello,

    Could someone please provide more description of each field in the info string?

    DP=2;AF1=1;CI95=0.5,1;DP4=0,0,0,2;MQ=43 PL:GT:GQ 39,6,0:1/1:49

    I know that DP is depth of coverage. What are AF1, CI95 (confidence interval?), DP4?

    Are 39,6,0 showing AA:AB:BB (guess)? Then should they be related to to the DP value?

    For multiple sample case, is there a way to find allelic frequency for each
    sample using the INFO field? Can someone show an example?





    The documentation on VCF4.0 http://www.1000genomes.org/wiki/Anal...mat-version-40

    seems to have skipped the explanation for these fields.

    Any help with this will be most appreciated. Thanks all, this is a terrific forum.

    I found the answers at http://samtools.sourceforge.net/mpileup.shtml. It is well-explained there.

      Hi wdt, see http://samtools.sourceforge.net/mpileup.shtml for a description of the fields.

      I'm a newbie to all this NGS business so cannot expand on what they all mean, I'm slowly trying to work it out for myself!

      Good luck

        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.
