  • vcftools --minGQ not filtering

    Hello,

    I am trying to filter based on GQ < 15. I do the following:

    vcftools --vcf infile.vcf --minGQ 15 --recode --out filtered

    However, this filtering does not work, nothing is being removed: "After filtering, kept 1287174 out of a possible 1287174 Site”. I confirm that the GQ tag is present in my VCF file. Other filters such as min/maxDP or minQ work just fine. I am using VCFtools - v0.1.13

    Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!

      Previously I tried to use vcftools v0.1.13 to filter my vcf file with --minGQ option, and it worked fine. So it supposed to be some problem with the vcf file than the software. Have you tried to use a different minGO score? which pipeline was used for the vcf generation. I used bowtie2-samtools v0.1.19, and the generated vcf file was good to feed vcftools. hope it helps.

        Yes, I tried to use a different minGQ, and I had the same issue. The vcf file was created following this workflow:

        - samtools mpileup -C 50 -E -t SP -t DP -u -I -f genome -b bam_list.txt > out.bcf
        - bcftools call -v -c -f gq out.bcf > out.vcf

        Maybe something went wrong with bcftools call?

            Investigating the Gut Microbiome Through Diet and Spatial Biology
            by seqadmin




            The human gut contains trillions of microorganisms that impact digestion, immune functions, and overall health1. Despite major breakthroughs, we’re only beginning to understand the full extent of the microbiome’s influence on health and disease. Advances in next-generation sequencing and spatial biology have opened new windows into this complex environment, yet many questions remain. This article highlights two recent studies exploring how diet influences microbial...

            Quality Control Essentials for Next-Generation Sequencing Workflows
            by seqadmin




            Like all molecular biology applications, next-generation sequencing (NGS) workflows require diligent quality control (QC) measures to ensure accurate and reproducible results. Proper QC begins at nucleic acid extraction and continues all the way through to data analysis. This article outlines the key QC steps in an NGS workflow, along with the commonly used tools and techniques.

            Nucleic Acid Quality Control
            Preparing for NGS starts with isolating the...
