  • Why is bcftools missing back-to-back/high-divergence-region SNPs (BWA mapping)?

    Greetings.

    I am doing some SNP-/variant-calling, mapping to a somewhat divergent reference genome (probably about 1.5-2% different), but synteny is preserved.

    I have been fine-tuning my SNP-calling using SAMtools/bcftools, however I am still getting false negatives in regions of high divergence (~10-20% difference) and (often, but not always) when two SNPs are next to each other. It looks like the caller is probably inserting gaps in these regions rather than calling them as SNPs, but there are no indels in corresponding regions in the VCF.

    Even looking at the unfiltered variant calls, nothing shows up in these regions, and they are the interesting ones.

    All help is appreciated. Thanks!

    If anyone checks, I answered by own question, it was the BAQ correction. Using the extended BAQ brought back the false negatives.

      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...
