  • samtools pileup c-option changes read quality

    Hi

    I might be wrong but I got the impression that when using the c-option in the pileup process, then the read qualities are changed (near an indel, N's are placed also):
    (I am using version 0.1.9 but version 0.1.10 seems to be the same). I am sure that there is an explanation, but I dont know it! Thanks for help!

    Example: the differences are lines 68-71

    with c option: (jump to line 67-75)
    /apps/bi/samtools/c/samtools pileup -c test.bam -f test_ref.fa | less
    test 67 A A 30 0 60 1 . 1
    test 68 C N 0 0 0 1 . (
    test 69 C N 0 0 0 1 . %
    test 70 C N 0 0 0 1 . !
    test 71 C N 0 0 0 1 .-1C !
    test 71 * -C/-C 40 0 60 1 -C * 1 0 0 0 0
    test 72 C N 0 0 0 1 * <
    test 73 T T 30 0 60 1 . <
    test 74 A A 30 0 60 1 . @
    test 75 T T 30 0 60 1 . 1


    without c option: (jump to line 67-75)
    /apps/bi/samtools/c/samtools pileup test.bam -f test_ref.fa | less
    test 67 A 1 . 1
    test 68 C 1 . 1
    test 69 C 1 . 1
    test 70 C 1 . 1
    test 71 C 1 .-1C 1
    test 72 C 1 * <
    test 73 T 1 . <
    test 74 A 1 . @
    test 75 T 1 . 1

    base quality score changes option -c samtools pileup and mpileup

    Hi,

    I can confirm this bug, as I had also noticed base quality scores changes with -c option, when I compared the number of high quality en low quality bases of a first mapping to a remapping against a sample specific reference. It appeared that low quality (LQ) bases, in the first mapping turned into high (HQ) quality bases, at positions were initially the reads did not match the reference and did in the remapping. So, I checked this problem with 10 reads at positions where a mutation occurred:

    first mapping
    ref HQ_A HQ_C HQ_G HQ_T LQ_A LQ_C LQ_G LQ_T
    T 0 2 0 1 0 7 0 0
    second mapping
    ref HQ_A HQ_C HQ_G HQ_T LQ_A LQ_C LQ_G LQ_T
    C 0 9 0 1 0 0 0 0

    When the pileup was made without the option -c, these changes did not happen. Also, mpileup seems to have this same problem.

      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...
