  • freebayes haplotype calling (phased variants)

    Hi All

    I often use freebayes for variant calling and am pleased with the results. Now I want to use it to call haplotypes. The nature of my project is that I wish to phase variants in 400-450bp amplicons. These amplicons are generated from a mixed target source such that different targets within it will generate amplicons of slightly different sequence though different targets may share one or more specific variants. My plan was to subject these amplicons to 2X300 bp Illumina sequencing, merge read 1 and read 2, then align to a reference. The freebayes documentation indicates that the “-E” flag is required to call phased variants, and so I’ve included “-E 400” in my command line. I then tested this against simulated reads I made that contain a 2bp and 3bp deletion 11bp apart. While both deletions are called by freebayes I see nothing that indicates they are phased. I had read online that I might expect these two variants to be depicted by freebayes as a single "complex" variant bound by the 2 deletions. I do not. Moreover, in the header I see the following: "##phasing=none". Am I mistaken about how freebayes reports phased variants or is there something more to the proper command line that I am missing?

    Thanks

    Mark

    Example:

    freebayes version: v1.0.2-14-g9e98366

    Code:
    $ freebayes -F 0.1 -E 400 -f target.ref.fa -v outE400F0.10.new  out.ref.sort.bam

      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...
