Theoretical Method
Count the number of positions in the bam that have an alt allele frequency of >0 and <2%
Note: Duplex bams are used for this calculation, and only substitutions are included, not insertions or deletions
Technical Methods
Tool Used:
Marianas
Waltz PileupMetrics
calculate_noise.sh (script aggregates across samples from Waltz folder)
Input
sample_id-duplex-pileup.txt (for duplex noise calculation)
Output
noise.txt
Interpretations
For the most accurate results, we would like to see lower contributing site values. Higher coverage may lead to more contributing sites for noise.
