  • SNPs at Interval Boundaries in GATK HaplotypeCaller

    I'm using HaplotypeCaller with the -L option, where I explicitly state the interval. I am trying to break my task into pieces and assign it to different jobs for it to complete faster. In one run, I am running it, from say,

    Chr1:1-1000000

    and another run, I am running it twice, from

    Chr1:1-500000 on one jobs and
    Chr1:500001-1000000 on another

    essentially splitting the interval into 2 different jobs. What I am seeing in this second run is that there are SNPs identified +/- 100 bases from 500000 that are not found in the first run.

    My guess is that asking HC to focus only on a region (ie -L 1-500000) does not allow the local aligner to reassemble properly the reads, and hence results in spurious reads and SNPs. I was hoping that by specifying -L, it does the local aligner in a larger region and just report the SNPs in the -L region.

    Has anybody heard of this or have a way around?

    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...
