  • How to do the recalibration of non-human species without good SNP database

    Hi all,

    I am dealing with the genome data of one bird, there are only a few studies about this bird (thus I do not have good SNP data to do the recalibration). I wonder how can I do the recalibration.

    I found a suggestion from GATK website:
    http://www.broadinstitute.org/gsa/wik...

    They said we can bootstrap a database of known SNPs. However, I still have some questions.

    1. When I do the initial round of SNP calling on my unrecalibrated data, Should I use any conditions or not? My colleagues are genotyping other genomes. When they do the recalibration (also without good SNP database), they are only requiring that genotypes containing an SNV had a genotype quality score ≥10. If I need to do the same thing as they did, what threshold should I use? They have high coverage genome (>20X), whereas my bird genome is low coverage (15X, after running DepthOfCoverage).

    2. They also said "These steps could be repeated several times until convergence". Could anyone please provide some further information about this?

    Thanks,

    Any ideas?

      Things that people have been doing include:
      taking the intersection of multiple snp callers
      using the hard filters
      using the top x percent

      By convergence, they mean use one of the above sets as truth, rerun the calibration on all of them, use one of the above methods agains, rerun the calibration and so on until your set of snps stops changing.

        Thanks, it seems that I have to run it several times and try different thresholds.

          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...
