  • quality control from fastq to vcf

    Hi all,

    This is my framework to call SNP from 50 fastq files,
    1> use bowtie to get SAM from fastq. reference genome: hg19.fa, paras in bowtie: -k 2 -v 2. Then I have 50 SAM files
    2> convert SAM to BAM. cmd line: samtools view -bS s01.sam > s01.bam, then I have 50 BAM files
    3> sort BAM. cmd line: samtools sort s01.bam > s01.sort.bam
    4> convert 50 sorted BAM files to one vcf file.
    cmd line:
    samtools mpileup -P ILLUMINA -ugf hg19.fa *.sort.bam | bcftools view -bcvg - > var.raw.bcf
    bcftools view var.raw.bcf | vcfutils.pl varFilter -D 2000 > var.flt.vcf

    However, the quality of VCF file seems not good. I'm wondering that in which step can I do the quality control? thanks very much

    Initial FastQC

    Hello.

    Did you use trimmomatic to initially do QC on the original fastq. To my understanding the best results are gained by using QC on the fastq files initially.

      Your file is probably fine. That's just how mpileup works; it puts in pretty much EVERY discrepancy, so the ration of garbage to real discrepancies is very high. So filter your vcf based on depth of coverage, quality score, etc. You can eyeball individual SNPs in IGV, if you want.

        Hi,

        I am new in this arena. I am using bowtie.
        1. I have aligned the paired-end reads included with bowtie2
        bowtie2 -x lambda_virus -1 ../reads/reads_1.fq -2 ../reads/reads_2.fq -S eg2.sam

        2. Converted the SAM file into BAM file
        samtools view -bS eg2.sam > eg2.bam

        3. Converted the BAM file to a sorted BAM file
        samtools sort eg2.bam eg2.sorted

        4. Generated variant calls in VCF format
        samtools mpileup -uf lambda_virus.fa eg2.sorted.bam | bcftools view -O u - > eg2.raw.bcf

        To view this format
        bcftools view eg2.raw.bcf
        By which I got a huge file mentioning SNPs like:
        gi|9626243|ref|NC_001416.1| 48496 . G <X> 0 . DP=2;I16=0,2,0,0,65,2125,0,0,45,1773,0,0,28,634,0,0;QS=1,0;MQ0F=0 PL 0,6,37
        gi|9626243|ref|NC_001416.1| 48497 . G <X> 0 . DP=2;I16=0,1,0,0,27,729,0,0,3,9,0,0,25,625,0,0;QS=1,0;MQ0F=0 PL 0,3,4
        gi|9626243|ref|NC_001416.1| 48498 . T <X> 0 . DP=2;I16=0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0;QS=0,0;MQ0F=0 PL 0,0,0
        gi|9626243|ref|NC_001416.1| 48499 . T <X> 0 . DP=2;I16=0,1,0,0,33,1089,0,0,42,1764,0,0,0,0,0,0;QS=1,0;MQ0F=0 PL 0,3,33
        gi|9626243|ref|NC_001416.1| 48500 . A <X> 0 . DP=1;I16=0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0;QS=0,0;MQ0F=0 PL 0,0,0
        gi|9626243|ref|NC_001416.1| 48501 . C <X> 0 . DP=1;I16=0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0;QS=0,0;MQ0F=0 PL 0,0,0
        gi|9626243|ref|NC_001416.1| 48502 . G <X> 0 . DP=1;I16=0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0;QS=0,0;MQ0F=0 PL 0,0,0

        so many of this. Now I need to asses the quality of the output. Can anyone give me some suggestions by which I can measure the quality of my data.

        Best Regards
        Zillur

          Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
          by seqadmin


          Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
