    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.

      Beyond CRISPR/Cas9: Understand, Choose, and Use the Right Genome Editing Tool
      by SEQadmin2



      CRISPR/Cas9 sparked the gene editing revolution for both research and therapeutics.1 But this system still showed severe issues that limited its applications. The most prominent were the heavy reliance on PAM sequences, delivery limitations, double-stranded breaks that prompt unintended edits and cell death, and editing inefficiency (both in targeting and in knock-in reliability).

      Despite this, “CRISPR helped turn genome editing from a specialized technique into

      Proteomic Platforms: How to Choose the Right Analytical Strategy to Improve Detection and Clinical Applications
      by SEQadmin2


      Proteomics platforms are evolving rapidly, with advances in mass spectrometry and affinity-based approaches expanding what researchers can detect and at what scale. As the field moves toward deeper proteome coverage and clinical applications, scientists face an increasingly complex landscape of tools. This article will explore how researchers are navigating these choices to find the right platform for their work.

      The systematic characterization of the human proteome has
