[Bioc-devel] inconsistent results from applyPileups and pileLettersAt
I am developing packages(if that is of importance), and hoped the thread could develop into discussions about how to improve the functions addressed. But can admit that I was not sure where to post this one, as it definitely is of general concern as well. Anyway, if anyone found this interesting, here is the post on the support site :) https://support.bioconductor.org/p/83141/

Hello everyone, I find inconsistent results from applyPileups and pileLettersAt. I have a placed a full example on github, so you can try the code with data that will reproduce what I am suspecting is a "bug". #Repo with reproducible example https://github.com/pappewaio/ExampleData #Here a short summary of what is happening One version requires the user to use readGAlignments first and then use pileLettersAt, here I can read in 450 reads into R, but after using pileLettersAt I am left with only 413 counts. What could possibly explain this difference? Is it because some reads are spanning the position I am piling letters at, but not having any sequence information for the position? The second version uses applyPileups and summarize straight from the bam file, and here I would expect to have at least the 413 counts found by pileLettersAt. But instead I can only find 385 counts. Why is it so? Until now I have been using version one to get allele counts. But version two is very much faster, so would be very nice to be able to switch to it, without losing counts. looking forward to hearing your thoughts, Jesper [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
