  • How to get variant allele frequency for internal tandem duplications from Pindel?

    I'm using the latest version of Pindel (0.2.5b9, 20160729) for somatic DNA to detect internal tandem duplications (ITDs) at variant allele frequencies (VAFs) in the range of 5% and greater. The vcf files produced by pindel2vcf always report 0 as the allele depth (AD) for the reference allele. Supposedly Pindel's VCFs also have a "reference depth" metric (RD) but this is not actually reported.

    I cannot find anything in the raw Pindel output (such as the _TD file) that corresponds to an allele frequency or reference depth.

    One (ugly) idea I have is to get total depth from something like GATK's DepthOfCoverage and divide that by Pindel's alt allele depth?

    Is there a more elegant/correct solution to this issue?

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
