using GATK IndelRealigner

07-20-2016, 12:52 AM

Hi,

I have some difficulties using IndelRealigner on my data. After comparing bam files before and after realignement process I find some regions where a correction should have occured. (an igv capture of an ambiguous region that isnt resolved after realignement : https://postimg.org/image/7yuy0hz81/ ). Is it normal that all my indels "problems" are not solved? And are there parameters to adjust to solve them? Have I made mistakes running the commands?

(here are my command lines ) java -Xmx12000m -jar ~/Soft/GATK/GenomeAnalysisTK.jar -T RealignerTargetCreator -nt 15 -R ~/igv/genomes/genome.fa -I sample.bam -o temp.indel.intervals java -Xmx12000m -jar ~/Soft/GATK/GenomeAnalysisTK.jar -T IndelRealigner -R ~/genome.fa -I sample.bam -targetIntervals temp.indel.intervals -o sample_realigned.bam

I'm willing to take any ideas!

Hi Guillaume,

The correction appends if there is a better alignment possible, how do you know you should have a different alignment in this position ?

Not an answer to your question, but interesting read considering IndelRealigner: https://software.broadinstitute.org/gatk/blog?id=7847

Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing

by SEQadmin2

I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data

by SEQadmin2

Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.

The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
