  • Pindel "per sample" columns

    Hello,

    I am having trouble interpreting the Pindel "per sample" columns of the output files.
    In a previous post it has been reported that lines 32+ are sample Id plus 6 values indicating:
    1) RefSupportingLeft 2) RefSupportingRight 3) AltSupportingLeft 4) AltSupportingLeftUnique 5) AltSupportingRight 6) AltSupportingRightUnique

    and that you should take max(RefSupportingLeft, RefSupportingRight) and sum(AltSupportingLeft, AltSupportingRight) to get your genotype.

    This is a bit confusing for two reasons:

    1) Apparently these data don't fit with what I see in IGV (aligner is BWA; IGV downsample reads function and filters have been disables). The major issue is that the number of 'reference' counts doesn't match with ref read counts shown in the viewer.


    2) Why we should take MAX of RefSupporting and SUM of AltSupporting to generate the correct genotype ?


    All the best,
    Rocco

    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...
