  • VCF representation of phase

    At a given locus in the reference genome, VCF records phased and non-phased alleles by separating numeric references to the alleles with either | (phased) or / (unphased). For example, "0/1" might be found in an unphased diploid sample.

    My question has to do with the case where you have polyploidy with 3 or more alleles. With VCF's notation, it is possible to represent a combination of phased and unphased alleles at a single locus, e.g., "0|1/1". But is this actually possible in practice? From what I understand of software that computes phasing, this shouldn't happen, so "0|1|1" or "0/1/1" might be reported at a given locus, but not "0|1/1" or "0/1|1".

    Have I got this right?

    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...
