    Predicting true SNPs from .vcf file

    The .vcf file contains so many different measurements, and a couple of different quality scores, does anyone have a good empirical idea of which values are the best guidelines to picking out real SNPs from noise and artifacts? I've done about a hundred sanger sequencing reactions on a variety of predicted SNPs at a variety of quality levels, but the picture still isn't very clear.

    For instance these SNPs looked real in the sanger:

    GT:PL:GQ 0/1:20,11,149:13 gcacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacac gcacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacacac 211 DP=95 DP4=17,0,10,2 MQ=48 FQ=214

    GT:PL:GQ 1/1:30,3,0:39 GAA GA 147 DP=10 DP4=0,0,1,6 MQ=48 FQ=-37.3


    These did not confirm with sanger sequencing

    GT:PL:GQ 0/1:24,0,114:27 A C 110 DP=130 DP4=14,35,2,22 MQ=45 FQ=113

    GT:PL:GQ 0/1:40,0,47:42 T G 98.3 DP=71 DP4=17,1,14,0 MQ=44 FQ=101

    Those don't look notably worse than the ones above them, so I'm not sure what I should have looked at to predict that the bottom two were false positives.

    (My a priori assumption was that these variants were all real, because I made a multi-vcf with mpileup with this samples and many sibling animals, and these variants were common to all the animals)

    maybe the depth of the bottom two is too high. Have you try the -D options?

      Pathogen Surveillance with Advanced Genomic Tools
      by seqadmin




      The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for proactive pathogen surveillance systems. As ongoing threats like avian influenza and newly emerging infections continue to pose risks, researchers are working to improve how quickly and accurately pathogens can be identified and tracked. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, two experts discussed how next-generation sequencing (NGS) and machine learning are shaping efforts to monitor viral variation and trace the origins of infectious...
