  • output info from samtools pileup?

    When I piled up an alignment by this command, I received the result in the bottom. What does each column mean? I know "chr_2 5554123" is a SNP.


    samtools pileup -c -f ../../ssahaSNP_result/Sorbil.fasta test.bam > test.full.pileup



    chr_2 5554119 t T 30 0 60 1 . R
    chr_2 5554120 t T 30 0 60 1 . P
    chr_2 5554121 t T 30 0 60 1 . A
    chr_2 5554122 g G 30 0 60 1 . A
    chr_2 5554123 t C 0 2 60 1 C A
    chr_2 5554124 a A 30 0 60 1 . X

    Hi shuang,

    You can find more information about the pileup command, its input and output, etc. here.

    You have used the consensus ("-c") option, which will call a consensus base according to the MAQ model for each base.

    There is more information about each of these columns here:

    "When consensus calling is switched on, pileup command will insert the consensus base, consensus quality, SNP quality and maximum mapping quality of the reads covering the sites between the `reference base' and the `read bases' columns."

      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...
