ATLAS / Auxiliary Tools: allelicDepth

Overview

This task creates a table summarizing the composition of the bases covering each site. It is basically a flattened 4-dimensional table.

Input

  • A BAM file

Output

A table with the following columns. Each line represents a possible allelic composition.

  • A,C,G,T: 4 columns listing the amount of bases of each type.
  • Counts: the number of sites that have this specific base composition
  • Depth: the total depth of the base composition (equal to sum of columns A,C,G and T)

Usage example

./atlas task=allelicDepth bam=example.bam maxAllelicDepth=5

Specific Arguments

  • maxAllelicDepth: All sites with a base type that has higher depth will be ignored. Set this to at least the average depth across sites.
