  • count number of A,C,G,T using DP4 in VCF

    Hi,
    Not sure about DP4 format in VCF of A,C,G,T count
    chr1 90119 . T G,A,X 99 . DP=121;AF1=1;CI95=1,1;DP4=0,7,33,81;MQ=51;PV4=0.19,1,1,0.064 PL 255,208,255,255,0,255,255,255,255,255


    Which one is correct? (Total DP=121= 7+33+81 seems okay.)
    T is 7, G is 33 , A is 81 , C is 0
    T is 7, A is 33 , G is 81, C is 0
    T is 77, forward A/G is 33, reverse A/G is 81, C is 0


    How about this one?
    chr4 1808445 . C T,G,A 99 . DP=459;AF1=1;CI95=1,1;DP4=33,55,260,108;MQ=31;PV4=1.3e-08,3.1e-44,1,4.3e
    -05 PL 186,164,255,255,0,255,255,255,255,255
    I guess: C=33+55, but how many T,G,A ?? Help please.

    thanks,


    According to http://samtools.sourceforge.net/mpileup.shtml

    DP4 is:
    Number of 1) forward ref alleles; 2) reverse ref; 3) forward non-ref; 4) reverse non-ref alleles, used in variant calling. Sum can be smaller than DP because low-quality bases are not counted.

    Could you answer this question? I have also similar question?

      T is 7, forward A/G is 33, reverse A/G is 81, C is 0

      I don't think there is any way of knowing how many G's and A's from DP4, because these are both lumped under 'non-reference'. Have a look at that position in the alignment using tview to confirm this.

      If someone knows of a way to obtain this information from mpileup I would also be very interested to know, as it would be hard to call the right SNP at this location without it.

            Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
            by seqadmin


            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...

            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...
