  • samtools pileup output, base quality does not match original ones

    I found samtools pileup results show '!' in the base quality column. However, I think the lowest one should be #, right? Actually, the base qualities do not match original ones. Does anyone know why?

    Base qualities in the input sam file have been changed to Sanger format before samtools pileup.

    By the way, should we change the original base quality scores to Sanger quality format before BWA mapping?

    Thanks!

    I found the same problem yet!

    Does someone knows?

      Simple thing to try...try running mpileup with -B. The BAQ calcautions seomtimes wrongly diagnose SNPs as misaligned indels, and it'll change the base qualities.

        Thank you for your reply!
        I know. It's another quality system after BAQ.

        But now i want to use the BAQ and another problem came across that the mpileup of samtools-0.1.16 and samtools-0.1.18 gives different pileup results for a single data:

        samtools-0.1.18 mpileup -q 1 -r chr1:12944616-12944616 -f hg19.fa merge.bam
        chr1 12944616 T 51 A,,,aaa..,aaA,aa,aan,..A,.a.AAa..A,Aa.,....,A.,,,,. !^aa!#!a]a!!!a!!a!!Baaa!aa!Z!!!aa!a!!aaaaaaY!aYaaaa

        samtools-0.1.16 mpileup -q 1 -r chr1:12944616-12944616 -f hg19.fa merge.bam
        chr1 12944616 T 51 A,,,aaa..,aaA,aa,aan,..A,.a.AAa..A,Aa.,....,A.,,,,. bdfef\ff]fffXfffff_BdfeeddfZfbeffffbffeffcfYafYdedd

        I don't know which gives the right result. Should i use samtools-0.1.18 for it is the latest version?

          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...
