SNV Calling
The variant caller runs a series of filters on the set of filtered and realigned reads for SNV calling without affecting indel calls. First, any contiguous trailing sequence of N base calls is trimmed from the ends of reads. Using a mismatch density filter, reads having an unexpectedly high number of disagreements with the reference are masked, as follows:
|
▶
|
The variant caller treats each insertion or deletion as a single mismatch. |
|
▶
|
Base calls with more than 2 mismatches to the reference sequence within 20 bases of the call are ignored. |
|
▶
|
If the call occurs within the first or last 20 bases of a read, the mismatch limit is applied to a 41-base window at the corresponding end of the read. |
|
▶
|
The mismatch limit is applied to the entire read when the read length is 41 or shorter. |
