    Mutect2 tumor-only - missing CHROM, ID, QUAL and FILTER columns in output vcf

    Hi,

    I am a medical student new to NGS. I'm currently trying to count the tumor mutational load from tumor samples (FFPE) to which I have no matched normal tissue. We are using a gene panel of less than 70 genes.

    I have got the fastq files (2 files per sample, paired-end) and I tried to write a script in bash to generate recalibrated bam files ready for use with mutect2.

    However, when I received the output vcf file from mutect2, there are some mutations but there is no information in CHROM, ID, FILTER and QUAL column.
    I am attaching the commands I used. I suppose there might be a problem with alignment, but I failed to recognize where the problem is. As a complete beginner, I suppose maybe I do some kind of systemic error.
    I would be grateful for any kind of hint. THanks.

    Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
    by SEQadmin2



    Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

    Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating

    New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
    by SEQadmin2


    Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.

    We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing
