  • Samtools SNP calling

    Hello there
    I have a issue with sam SNP calling. I work with captured genomic sequences.
    The fold coverage is very high at 600X. I used BWA (mismatch penalty -7) to map the reads to the genome and used samtools to call SNPs. I used mpileup and then realised that a known SNP was not called by mpileup and I tried to investigate what is happening in that region with pileup. The output is as follows
    CFA15 1299612 T T 255 0 59 309 g,GG,,.g,,.G.g.,,,gg.G,gg,g,,.G.,,,,,,GG...gGG,,,g.ggggg,.ggG.gg..g,Gg.Gggg.G

    What I do not understand is why is samtools not reporting the consensus sequence as K ? Is this the reason why it is not called as variant position ?
    Thanks a lot for the answers

    All those !'s are the lowest quality. It doesn't want to call a G because it thinks all the G calls are horribly unreliable.

    Did you run mpileup with the default settings? At my fingertips, I've got a similar case, with 2 SNPs that definitely sanger confirmed, but also had lousy quality scores. When I re-ran mpileup with -B, the quality scores improved to what the .sam file said they ought to be, and my two SNPs popped up.

    If you ran pileup, you should really get the newest version of samtools, and run mpileup. People will be less willing to troubleshoot software they know is superseded.

          Genetic Variation in Immunogenetics and Antibody Diversity
          by seqadmin



          The field of immunogenetics explores how genetic variations influence immune responses and susceptibility to disease. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, Oscar Rodriguez, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Louisville, and Ruben Martínez Barricarte, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University, shared recent advancements in immunogenetics. This article discusses their research on genetic variation in antibody loci, antibody production processes,...

          Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
          by seqadmin



          Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...
