I'm using SAMTools to do some variant calling and I'd like to know how many supporting reads there are for the variant vs the consensus for the SNPs that it calls (like the indel lines). Is there a way to do this that I've missed? I want to use it as a filter on top of the mapping qualities.

Have a look at the samtools pileup format
See here: http://samtools.sourceforge.net/pileup.shtml
also, if you run samtools with the following command "samtools pileup -c -f <reference_sequence> in.bam" you will get for each position the support for consensus and for reference and some value that tells you the probability of a SNP at this position, I haven't read up on the details but I think that could be a good starting point.
Example Output:
dmel_mitochondrion_genome 2033 T T 10 0 0 3 ... AA>
You could try to extract your desired information from that.
Cheers,
Paul

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...-

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...-
