    General question regarding GATK

    Hi everybody,

    I have a general question regarding variant calling using GATK. My question is maybe naive (or stupid) since I am new to NGS analysis...

    I am half-way through my analysis using the best practices and for a lot of command lines that I used so far, I had to put references for known indels and snp (i.e dbsnp). So are the variants (or mutations) that will be found in my different libraries will be considered as technical mutations or as new variants if they do not correspond to known indels or snps?

    Those will be new variants.

      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.
