Dear All
i have merged my six bam files (one sample run in 6 lanes) using Picard and used GATK pipeline for tunning the bam file and base calibration. after all these preliminary steps i did variant calling by unified genotyper. still i have not used variant quality score recalibration pipeline.
I compared the result with the output generated for doing all these step on the single bamfile
i am surprised to see that the merged bam is showing a much larger number then the single bamfile. Am i doing right or is it because of error
e.g in single file chr1 has 2472 variants while in merged the number is 21853
just to mention
five bam files were from single sample run in six different lanes
Any help will be highly appreciated
