    Samtools mpileup vcf format question

    Hello,
    I have Samtools mpileup output files in VCF format. I would like to know briefly about some of the output filelds.

    How are the field values for PL:GT:GQ and PV4 calculated and what is the inference of these fields in SNPs and INDELS finding.

    Following are the example lines from VCF file.

    #CHROM POS ID REF ALT QUAL FILTER INFO FORMAT s_4s_5s.bam
    1 49820 . T C 54.5 . DP=4;AF1=1;CI95=0.5,1;DP4=0,0,2,2;MQ=60 PL:GT:GQ 87,12,0:1/1:72
    1 49826 . G C 63.5 . DP=8;AF1=0.5;CI95=0.5,0.5;DP4=2,2,3,1;MQ=60;PV4=1, 0.0015,1,1 PL:GT:GQ 66,0,102:0/1:69

    It would be really helpful if anybody would give brief explanation about how these field values are obtained.

      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.
