Amplicon Checker

Purpose: To check for amplicon coverage dropouts

Goals:

Expected inputs:

  • bam file
  • primer scheme file --> determine amplicons based on it
  • bam files of old samples to compare against (to set regional thresholds rather than a generic constant value)

What to base thresholds on:

  • exact minimum coverage threshold
  • minimum coverage as a percent of sample's highest coverage regions
  • observed typical coverage in region based on older data

Potential outputs:

  • list of regions (based on windows) with lower than threshold coverage
  • List of amplicons (based on primers) containing any dropouts (by windows)
  • List of amplicons (based on primers) fully dropped out
  • pass/fail boolean
