    bcftools call: why is this a 1/1?

    I can't for the life of me figure out why bcftools call genotypes this position (and many, many others like it) as 1/1:

    Here's the input VCF line:

    Code:
    10	227179	.	C	T,<*>	0	.	DP=191;I16=91,87,7,2,6502,238474,333,12321,235,3775,420,25200,3675,85899,97,1569;QS=0.733,0.267,0;VDB=0.00520152;SGB=-0.662043;RPB=0.000875247;MQB=0.0198712;MQSB=0.892843;BQB=0.980427;MQ0F=0.0209424	PL:DP:ADF:ADR:AD	64,255,0,255,27,95:187:91,7,0:87,2,0:178,9,0
    and here's the output from bcftools call -m :

    Code:
    10	227179	.	C	T	34.7149	.	DP=191;VDB=0.00520152;SGB=-0.662043;RPB=0.000875247;MQB=0.0198712;MQSB=0.892843;BQB=0.980427;MQ0F=0.0209424;AC=2;AN=2;DP4=91,87,7,2;MQ=3	GT:PL:DP:ADF:ADR:AD	1/1:64,255,0:187:91,7:87,2:178,9
    Note that DP4=91,87,7,2 -- there are 178 REF reads and 9 ALT reads used to make the call. How on earth is that ALT homozygous "1/1"??

    I hugely appreciate any explanation of this call!

    16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
    by SEQadmin2




    NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...

    Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
    by SEQadmin2



    Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?

    Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating
