I am looking at some VCF and bam files generated by Torrent Suite software onboard an Ion Torrent machine (PGM, if that matters).
The VCF has field pairs like the following:
There are similar "Flow Evaluator" counterparts for measures like Alternate Allele (AA) Observation Count, AA on fwd strand, AA on rev strand, Reference Allele (RA) observation, RA on fwd, RA on rev strand etc etc.
I looked on the web for what the Flow Evaluator measures refer to - but could not find much that is useful. Could someone elaborate? What is the significance of "Flow Evaluator" measures on the Ion Torrent platform? What is their definition? How should one interpret them when looking at called variants?

- DP - Read Depth
- FDP - Flow evaluator read depth
