Sooo... how does one evaluate an error rate with a reference? Is it just a comparison of the vcf files?
Also why would it be bad to error correct in those situations, I imagine that it will have to due with "correcting" away an actual variant but a variant would still have to be present at a rate higher than the machine's error rate to be called with an confidance right? i.e. if you have a 1% error rate and 1000x coverage you could not call anything less than 10X right?
