  • VarScan2 somatic output (genotype call)

    Hi everyone,
    I'm using varscan2 to call somatic variants.
    I have some problem to undestand some field of the output, in particular I don't understand what kind of codify they use both for genotype call for Normal sample and tumor sample.

    here some row of the output:

    PHP Code:
    chrom    position    ref    var    normal_reads1    normal_reads2    normal_var_freq    normal_gt    tumor_reads1    tumor_reads2    tumor_var_freq    tumor_gt    somatic_status    variant_p_value    somatic_p_value    tumor_reads1_plus    tumor_reads1_minus    tumor_reads2_plus    tumor_reads2_minus

    chr1    69897    T    C    393    214    35
    ,26%    Y    570    285    33,33%    Y    Germline    2.393941203174513E-173    0.793896726900893    244    326    128    157    165    228    106    108
    chr1    131552    G    T    18    6    25
    %    K    20    3    13,04%    K    Germline    0.0012810738523452987    0.922366186932137    15    5    2    1    16    2    6    0 
    what does it mean a genotype call like K or Y?
    thanks in advance for your help

    Hello,

    Those are heterozygous genotypes represented as IUPAC ambiguity codes.

      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...
