Filter Calls
Step 2 -- filtering
The second step takes all the genotypes generated from the first step and organized into a patient level variants table with VAFs and call status for each variant of each sample.
Each call is subjected to:
Read depth filter (hotspot vs non-hotspot)
Systematic artifact filter
Germline filters
If any normal exist -- (buffy coat and DMP normal) 2:1 rule
If not -- exac freq < 0.01% and VAF < 30%
Default options can be found
What filter_calls.R does
-- any call with occurrence in more than or equal to 2 donor samples (occurrence defined as more than or equal to 2 duplex reads)
-- reference for downstream analysis
