  • How many multi-allelic SNPs to expect from large human cohorts?

    Hi all:
    I'm assessing a callset that aggregates a couple of thousand human germline samples. I'm concerned that the calls have too many multi-allelic SNP's (something like 15% of SNPs are multi-allelic) and that these sites are enriched for false positives.
    Now, I get it that at some point the typical infinite sites model will break down and mutations will start happening in sites that are already polymorphic, but for example ExAC has only like 7% multi-allelic sites and they have 60k+samples, whereas I have less than 1/20 of that.
    Are there ways to assess quality of these sites? Are there any results (empirical/theoretical) about how many multiallelic SNPs to expect as a function of sample number? Is Ts/Tv meaningful at multiallelic sites? (and then which allele should it be computed on)?
    TIA!

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
