  • mpileup -B option

    Hi there
    I used mpileup with the -B option to predict variations. To evaluate our pipeline, the same analysis has been done by an other lab and results have been validated in wet lab.
    we share true positive prediction... good. But also we missed A LOT of true positive. I checked without the -B option and they are found. A lot of reads were not considered by using -B ... and it was wrong to do that
    I'm wondering if you know which parameters I can play with to be less stringent.
    Thanks for your time

    That's my experience too. Real, sanger validated SNPs will turn up with -B is selected, but won't be called otherwise.

    Here's the result running

    ../../../../samtools/1.14/samtools mpileup -f ../1/genome6.fa region.bam > mpileup_noB.txt
    598255 C 136 t,ttttttT.tttt.ttTTT.ntnn.t.t.,t.,,.TTTTtT..Tttt,T.tTtttTT.tttttttttTT.t,ttttt,t.T...tTTTtTTtttt.tT.TtTTTT.TTT.Tt,.ttttt,TtTTTt,ttttTTT^Ft !U!!!!!!!g!!>!B!!!%!BE!BDf!h!ag!hhYh!!!!!!h]*!!!f0g!%!!!!!Z!!!!!!!!!!>g!c!$!!!h!f!hhh!!!!!,!!!!!h!!g!%!!!$h!!!h!$BS!!>!!g!!!!!!b#!!!!!!!

    ../../../../samtools/1.14/samtools mpileup -Bf ../1/genome6.fa region.bam > mpileup_B.txt

    598255 C 136 t,ttttttT.tttt.ttTTT.ntnn.t.t.,t.,,.TTTTtT..Tttt,T.tTtttTT.tttttttttTT.t,ttttt,t.T...tTTTtTTtttt.tT.TtTTTT.TTT.Tt,.ttttt,TtTTTt,ttttTTT^Ft ggThghghfghgBfBghh^dBEhBDfdhhagghhYhfgfdhgh]WffffPgf]fhggcZdfghhffhhgBghcg_hhchgfghhhefghgThPhafhfdgh^a`hZhfghhe_BS`gBghghghhhhg]hdhgfgf

    the -B has for some reason destroyed the quality scores of the letters in this area, and the vcf is empty in this region. When I make it starting with -B, then that SNP pops up.

    It's mixed, but the sanger was plain as day.

      Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
      by seqadmin


      The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist on Modified Bases...

      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...
