  • vcf: difference between position DP and genotype DP

    Dear all


    I am finding difficult to understand some features of the vcf (variant call format) files I am getting when calling SNPs from illumina reads mapped using bwa and piled up using samtools. I hope you can help me.

    When looking at the vcf file (of a single sequenced individual for example; just from bcftools view; before varFilter) I noticed that the overal DP of the position and the Genotype DP are quite different, the genotype DP being often drastically reduced relative to the position DP. I understant that (as the manual states) these numbers may be different because of a quality filter but I find hard to believe that such filter would reduce coverage from hundreds to less than 10, which is what I observe.

    Does anyone know what this quality filter is exactly?

    Also I noticed that this trend is more frequent in neighboring SNPs (with 0 to 2 sites in between).

    Any ideas?


    Thanks!

    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...
