    Help with ancient DNA consensus

    Hello,
    I hope this is the correct place to put this. I'm new here. I'm also pretty new at bioinformatics and have only self-taught my self what I know so far.

    I've been trying to obtain a consensus sequence via the command line. I'm using bwa for mapping, samtools for various viewing/filtering/sorting, then bcftools mpilupe, calls, and consensus.

    My problem is that the consensus is basically just spitting out the reference sequence (the human mtDNA rCRS in this case). I have been searching the internet for hours for help and it's either not relevant to aDNA or its beyond my bioinformatics knowledge.

    I've attached my short basic script.
    I really appreciate any help with this!!

    You might be able to find some more resources on your bcftools pipeline on www.biostars.org. Just query for bcftools variant calling or something to see if you can find more resources.

      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
