    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.

      16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
      by SEQadmin2





      NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification,...

      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
