How we calculate VAF in scout #4686

Open northwestwitch opened 5 months ago

We currently use the formula: alt reads / read depth but a user asked if we shouldn't instead use alt reads / (ref reads + alt reads).

Please note that the e formulas can return very different numbers, see for instance this variant: https://scout.scilifelab.se/cust087/F0062013/sv/variants/61a3b4da910ec616d0159eba2fbfed47
