Hi all, I am currently trying to do some genotyping using some low-pass sequencing data on 13 1000GP samples. I am mostly interested in biallelic SNPS's. I have a variant calling pipeline built on GATK 4 (HaplotypeCaller) using the best practices, and another that uses Varscan2, and another using bcftools/samtools. The idea is to produce two call sets, before and after imputation (with BEAGLE) and check concordance with imputed 1000GP truth sets. Would any of you have suggestions on the best approach here? HaplotypeCaller may not be the best choice if there are only a few or one read is my thought. Any suggestions are appreciated! -Karl

The human gut contains trillions of microorganisms that impact digestion, immune functions, and overall health1. Despite major breakthroughs, we’re only beginning to understand the full extent of the microbiome’s influence on health and disease. Advances in next-generation sequencing and spatial biology have opened new windows into this complex environment, yet many questions remain. This article highlights two recent studies exploring how diet influences microbial...02-24-2025, 06:31 AM
