  • Strange genotypes from single cell variant calling using monovar

    Hi @all,

    I'd like whether anyone has some experience with monovar (http://www.nature.com/nmeth/journal/...meth.3835.html)

    I'm asking because multi sample genotyping doesn't seem to work probably. Here are two of many examples of to illustrate the problem:

    0/1:425,1:428:2:4,2,3240
    0/1:705,1:706:2:4,2,3240
    0/1:239,0:240:2:4,2,3240
    1/1:8,145:154:7:3240,12,0
    1/1:1,248:249:7:3240,12,0
    1/1:2,57:59:7:1486,12,0
    1/1:2,118:120:7:3240,12,0
    1/1:1,27:28:7:693,12,0
    1/1:2,36:38:7:915,12,0
    1/1:0,8:8:7:224,12,0
    1/1:1,47:48:7:1248,12,0
    1/1:0,76:76:7:2046,12,0
    1/1:0,64:64:7:1724,12,0
    1/1:0,116:116:7:3240,12,0
    1/1:0,13:13:7:355,12,0

    The first 3 records are controls, the remaining tumor cells. For me it looks like the algo assumes an ADO in those records simply because there are more hom alt calls?! But what is the logic behind this assumption?

    It seems to work fine if you have a better mixture of genotypes
    0/1:22,51:73:3:1127,0,357
    0/1:63,44:108:3:847,0,1346
    0/1:11,47:59:3:1064,0,109
    0/0:38,0:38:4:1,5,996
    ./.
    0/0:144,0:144:4:1,5,3240
    0/0:19,0:19:4:1,5,500
    1/1:0,117:117:4:3240,8,1
    1/1:0,1:1:2:31,4,3
    1/1:0,78:78:4:2062,8,1
    1/1:0,54:54:4:1421,8,1
    1/1:0,167:167:4:3240,8,1
    1/1:0,74:74:4:1960,8,1
    1/1:0,320:321:4:3240,8,1
    1/1:0,104:104:4:3240,8,1

    The big question for me is know, how do I filter unreliable values? Depth was my first choice, but its probably not sufficient. Quality seems to be always low, especially if ADOs might have occurred (so in case where the GT is hom alt or hom ref...) But then, only hets with a strong difference in the likelihoods are reliable and everything not...

    Any ideas or suggestions are welcome

    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...

    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...
