Hi,
I extracted Exome regions from public bam files to apply the same pipeline that I did for my samples and merge them. It is weird that looking in the g.vcf files, I have very few "variants", and those have very few reads (these are high coverage samples). Here there are two examples: As you can see this regions has a coverage of 22-40, How can I have a DP=1??

When I compare the lines of this g.vcf file with what I obtained with extracting the same regions in individuals from other public bam files (the 1000GP) of (10x), I got:
1000GP bam (10X): Total reads: 13924960, wc raw.g.vcf = 20819861, grep 0/1 raw.g.vcf = 57,362
Public bam (39X): Total reads: 43168049, wc raw.g.vcf = 8136676, grep 0/1 raw.g.vcf = 9
So, why having high coverage bam files, I end up with so few variants?
Could it be the result of some error I had in the IndelRealignment step (GenomeAnalysisTK-3.4-46/GenomeAnalysisTK.jar -T IndelRealigner) ?
ERROR MESSAGE: Exception when processing alignment for BAM index HS2000-1017_290:2:2106:4486:29552 2/2 100b unmapped read.
The only way to solve that error (according to ValidateSamFile there was no errors) was to remove those unmapped reads:
samtools view -b -F 4 file.bam > mapped.bam
index again
IndelRealingment
BaseRecalibrator step1
BaseRecalibrator Round 2

Thank you very much,
