Hi,
I am following the best practice pipeline with version 3.6 of gatk and in order to reduce the amount of compound heteozygote variants found in my analysis, I recently chose to "mature" into using the phased gt annotations PID and PGT and I have very nice results.
However I found a high amount of variants with a dot ('.') in both fields in the vcfs I started to use the new analysis on.
I scanned around in the forums and documentation, however I could not find any sign what that means.
this is especially interesting, as I have several variants where the variants are on the same read only, however only a few of the variants are phased, the others show the '.'
I am pleased the with the outcome already however I fear that I might miss information.
I included the screenshot as well as an overview of the variants in that region.
I would appreciate it if you could shed some light on this issue, even if it is just " the dot means we were not sure about it"
