Hey, thanks for figuring out that it was CCGG . I thought it might be something like that. It must be that a certain distance into the read if the CCGG happens it starts stuttering. I see that it is quality "masked" but that the "bad quality mask" is short by about 2-3 bps. The bad call is often in that "good quality" area, in the data I look at. The "snp call must have enough evidence in both directions" rule should save the day.

Originally posted by fpepin View PostI also talked to more people about this issue and the answer is that this is a well-known issue when you have a specific tetramer (CCGG, if I remember correctly) that ends up causing bases to be skipped.
This explains why the differences are strand specific and why it happens in very specific places in the genome (including in completely different labs). The reads generally end up being clipped soon after because the indel, but there are cases that are repetitive enough that the few other bases match by chance, leading for the trimming to occur later and the read to be kept.
I'm not quite sure where would be best place to recognize this corner case and deal with it, but in my case I'll take the lazy way out and just filter them out at the end.
Thanks for all who offered suggestions.Last edited by Michael.James.Clark; 02-11-2011, 02:57 PM.Mendelian Disorder: A blogshare of random useful information for general public consumption. [Blog]

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-

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...-
