Hii, Please tell me if GATK pipeline could be run on whole genome pooled sequence data? If yes, then kindly share the GATK pipeline for it.

Thanks

Hi Tania Zahid

We do not have a pooled samples variant calling pipeline. We think Mutect2 should work since it takes into account probabilistic fluctuations in the proportional coverage, i.e. not assume that exactly X% of reads come from each of the 100/X samples. We have not tested this on our end so please use at your own discretion.

Got a problem?

Search using the search box at the top of the page, e.g. using the error message.
Try the latest version of tools.
When reporting a problem, include tool and Java versions.
Tell us whether you are following GATK Best Practices.
Include relevant details, e.g. platform, DNA- or RNA-Seq, WES (+capture kit) or WGS (PCR-free or PCR+), paired- or single-end, read length, expected average coverage, somatic data, etc.
For tool errors, include the error stacktrace as well as the exact command.
For format issues, include the result of running ValidateSamFile for BAMs or ValidateVariants for VCFs.
For weird results, include an illustrative example, e.g. attach IGV screenshots.

Did we ask for a bug report?
