    Hello,

    Thank you for the explanation. I had a question about what type of samples can I include in a cohort-type analysis.

    Assuming that they are all WES (same panel) and Same ancestry (Just sequenced in separate batches)

    If my cohort has 100 cases with 8 families and sporadic then should I run them all together or divide them into batches of families and one for sporadic?

    The other question I have is: If I have 100 cases and 40 controls can I do the 'join genotyping' together or do it separately?

    Thank you for your help.

    Hello,

    Could anyone explain the meaning of "rescueing genotype calls" under section titled "2. Greater sensitivity for low-frequency variants"? Does it mean the genotype calls of the low-frequency variants would be more accurate? Or does it mean that the low frequency variant site would be detected more easily?

    Thanks for your help.

    I had the same query for joint call cohort. I assume that the diseased and case control samples should not be merged for cohort calling thinking that the high confidence SNP in case control samples might influence the variant calling procedure.
