  • Pindel output Row 32+ per sample details

    Hi,
    I am running Pindel on some Illumina data.
    I am having trouble interpreting the final "per sample" columns of the output files.
    The manual (http://gmt.genome.wustl.edu/pindel/0...er-manual.html) says that lines 32+ are "Per sample" and consist of the sample id, plus 4 values for each sample (ie. the sample name, followed by the total number of supporting reads whose anchors are upstream, the total number of unique supporting reads whose anchors are upstream, the total number of supporting reads whose anchors are downstream, and finally the total number of unique supporting reads whose anchors are downstream.)
    However in my output I get 6 values following every sample name. (eg:
    C9343 5 5 12 10 1 1)
    Can you please explain what these extra 2 values are, and the order of the values.

    Thanks,

    Ruth

      Hi,
      Thanks.
      So to clarify RefSupportingLeft and RefSupportingRight are the number of reads that support the reference sequence, and therefore not the variant?
      Whereas Alt... are the number of reads that support the variant as documented in the rest of the row?

        Ref = reference allele
        Alt = variant allele

        take max(RefSupportingLeft, RefSupportingRight) and sum(AltSupportingLeft, AltSupportingRight) for your genotype. if you run pindel2vcf, this should be take cared already.

          Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
          by seqadmin


          Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...

          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...
