Question: Is it possible to have CV merge like bcftools does it?
I get this warning, when running UG in GGA mode using an -alleles vcf generated with CV:
WARN 10:17:21,394 GenotypingGivenAllelesUtils - Multiple valid VCF records detected in the alleles input file at site 20:106089, only considering the first record
I made this call with HC from 10 samples:
20 106089 . CA C
And this call with UG from 10 other samples:
20 106089 . C A
CV merges like this:
20 106089 . C A
20 106089 . CA C
bcftools merges like this:
20 106089 . CA AA,C
The UG recall from the CV generated -alleles vcf is incomplete:
20 106089 . C A
The UG recall from the bcftools generated -alleles vcf is complete:
20 106089 . CA AA,C
Is it possible to have CV merge like bcftools does it?
In another thread @Geraldine_VdAuwera said:
I'm really not sure. It's not a use case that UG was designed for (with UG we kept SNPs and indels separate until post-analysis), so I would recommend being cautious with it.
I checked the genotypes and UG seems to handle merged MNPs and indels just fine; see below. But I will do some additional testing. Or I might just take the safe path and do the recalling separately for SNPs and indels as suggested. The reason I have UG and HC calls in the first place is because I have low and high coverage data for different cohorts. I want to create a merged dataset.
Despite --interval_padding 100 helping to recall more sites with HC in GGA mode as per previous recommendation, some sites still fail to be called with HC in GGA mode. Hence I opted for UG.

The course was already fully booked, when you announced it. I don't have a time machine!
