    Hi ,

    I am going to move your post into our Community Discussions -> General Discussion topic, as the Special GATK Use Cases topic is for reporting bugs and issues with GATK.

    You can read more about our forum guidelines and the topics here: Forum Guidelines.

    Best,

    Bhanu

    Hi jorgez,

    Could you clarify what you mean by major constituent mtDNA? 

    To separate heteroplasmic from non-heteroplasmic DNA you can filter using AF. Heteroplasmic might not necessarily be 1.0 but the AF value will give you good information. The MTLowHeteroplasmyFilterTool is not best for this case.

    Hope this helps!

    Genevieve
