Sometimes we want or need the frequency of the different bases. This is what -doCounts does.

You can refine which bases to be included using the filter parameters -minMapQ/-minQ/-trim. Based on the total depth for each you can discard sites for further analysis if the total depth is below/above some threshold -setMaxDepth/setMinDepth, and you can discard a site if the effective sample size is below some threshold -minInd.

You can output summary statistics such as Q score distribution -doQsDist, depth distribution -doDepth, or various per site counts -dumpCounts. All output files has a nice header which should make the interpretation straightforward.

Options

Filtering

-minQ [int]

Default 13, Discard bases with a qscore below this threshold.

-trim [int]

Default 0. Trim [int] bases at both ends of the reads. Useful for ancient DNA.

-setMinDepth [int]

Default -1. If the total depth is below this value, the site is discarded

-setMaxDepth [int]

Default -1. If the total depth is above this value, the site is discarded

-minQfile [fileName]

Default NULL. File with individual base quality score. This should be a file with the number of rows matching the number of individuals and the number of columns should either be 1 or 4. If four columns are given then a separate quality threshold is used for each base (A C G T). Both space and tab is acceptable as delimiters.

output summary

-dumpCounts [int]

Default 0. See examples below. Output files are called .pos,.counts.gz.

-doQsDist [int]

Default 0. Output the distribution of scores. Output files are called .qs.

-doDepth [int]

Default 0. Output the distribution of sequencing depths. Sites with depth above> -maxDepth, will be binned. Output files are called .depthSample,depthGlobal'.

-maxDepth [int]

Default 100. See -doDepth parameter.

Output formats

Printing Counts per site

-dumpCounts [int]

1: Print overall depth in the .pos file. This depth is the sum of reads covering a sites for all individuals. The first column is the chromosome, the second it the position the third is the total depth.

chr	pos	totDepth
1	13999902	1
1	13999903	1
1	13999904	1
1	13999905	2
1	13999906	2
1	13999907	2
1	13999908	2
1	13999909	2
1	13999910	2

2: prints the depth of each individual. Example of the depth of 10 individuals. Each line corresponce to the same line in the postion file.

ind0TotDepth	ind1TotDepth	ind2TotDepth	ind3TotDepth	ind4TotDepth
0	0	0	7	0
0	3	0	0	0
0	0	4	4	0
0	0	0	0	1
5	0	0	0	0
0	0	10	0	0
0	0	0	0	1
0	4	0	10	0
0	0	0	2	0

3: Prints the depth for each of the four bases across all individuals. Each line corresponce to the same line in the postion file.

totA    totC    totG    totT
1       0       0       0
0       0       1       0

2       0       0       0
0       0       2       0


4: Prints the depth for each of the four bases for each indivial for each site. Example with the first four column belonging to the first individuals the counts of the number of A C G and Ts. Only two indivduals are shown. Each line corresponce to the same line in the postion file.

ind0_A ind0_C ind0_G ind0_T ind1_A ind1_C ind1_G ind1_T ind2_A ind2_C ind2_G ind2_T 
0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 
0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 
1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 
0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 
1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 
0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 
0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 
0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 
0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 

Example

Print the individuals depth from bam files

./angsd -out out -doCounts 1 -dumpCounts 2 -bam bam.filelist

Print the individuals depth from bam files but filter away low quality bases

./angsd -out out -doCounts 1 -dumpCounts 2 -bam bam.filelist -minQ 20

Print the individuals depth from bam files but filter away low quality bases based on different threshold per individuals and base type

./angsd -out out -doCounts 1 -dumpCounts 2 -bam bam.filelist -minQ 20 -minQfile qThres.txt

qThres.txt:

20 23 23 20
30 34 34 30
30 34 34 30
30 34 34 30
30 34 34 30
20 23 23 20
30 34 34 30
30 34 34 30
20 30 30 20
20 23 23 20

The above analysis removes A and T bases with a Q score less then 20 for individual 1. The other individuals uses different thresholds

Depth Distribution

Column1 in the .depthSample,.depthGlobal contains the number of sites with sequencing depth of 0. Column2 is the number of sites with a sequencing depth of 1, etc.

The .depthSample contains depth per sample. Line one corresponds to individual 1. Column2 corresponds to individual 2 etc.
