    A problem of using Samtools to make VCF file

    Hi!

    I used the samtools commands and 1000 genome data(phase 3, low-coverage sequenced data) to generate the VCF file for both snp and indel, and below are the two command lines to get the vcf file for 5 people. The final "5genomes.var.flt.vcf" file has around 163432 snp and indel sites. However, when I used the same way to generate the vcf file for 100 people, the final vcf file includes only 1465 snp and indel, which is too few. I checked the last locus for both files, it looks like both of them processed the whole chromosome 20.

    Do you have any idea what's wrong with it?

    Thanks a lot. I look forward to your reply.

    Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

    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...
