Hi all,
I'm trying to interpret some SAMtools pileup data I generated, and I ran into a character that isn't explained in the pileup format explanation page: http://samtools.sourceforge.net/pileup.shtml
Here's what my data look like:
X 24364 T 34 ,..,.,.,,...,,.,.,,,,,,,.,,,,,.*..
X 24365 C 36 ,$T$.,.,.,,...,,.,.,,,,,,,.,,,,,.*..^F.^:.
X 24366 A 34 .,.-1T,.c,...,,.,.,,,,,,,.,,,,,.,....
X 24367 T 36 .,*,.,,...,,.,.,,,,,,,.,,,,,.,....^:a^F,
X 24368 T 36 .$,.,.,,...,,.,.,,,,,,,.,,,,,.,....gg
X 24369 T 36 ,$._,.,,...,,.,.,,,,,,,.,,,,,.,....ag^F.
So you'll see that lines 24364, 24365, and 24367 contain positions annotated by "*". What does this mean? The pileup format explanation page is clear about all the other characters just not this one...
