Incorporate the following five somatic mutation callers
MuTect
Annotations:
MuTect performed the best when the normal contained
no tumor contamination (see Additional file 1: Tables S2
and S3). It was by far the most sensitive tool among those
we have tested when the normal was pure and tumor VAF
was very low.
JointSNVMix2
VarScan2
VarDict
Annotations:
Good for high depth, up to 1e5.
VarDict was the best indel detector when the VAF
dipped below 50 %.
SomaticSniper
multiSNV
Annotations:
takes multiple tumor sam-
ples from the same patients to take advantage of evo-
lution modeling in heterogeneous cancers to increase
the sensitivity and specificity of somatic mutation detec-
tion
QQSNV
Annotations:
http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2105/16/379
Good for deep sequencing over a small region.
ShoRAH, V-Phaser 2, LoFreq, deepSNV, and RVD
Annotations:
Mostly devised for virus. Including QQSNV
highlighted researches
Considerations on the mutational rate of the LR PCR
LR-PCR
de novo assembly
Annotations:
Doesn't work atm. might need to extract seqs aligned to ABCA4 first before de novo
Mutations on promoters/splice site/histone markers
Use Exom sequencing result to estimate polymerase error-rate
Annotations:
Not necessary, since the error rate is supposed to be limited, given the DNA sample's good quality
Use CADD / VAAS2 to re-predict deleterious mutations
