Regarding the necessity of normal.bam file #42

Open ghost opened 5 years ago

ghost commented 5 years ago

I am currently working on a tumor bulk RNA-seq data set in order to identify somatic mutations. I have the BAM file for the tumor data set but I do not have the BAM file for a normal sample. Is there any way to use NeuSomatic without a normal BAM file?

Ya same issue .

Thanks for your interest in NeuSomatic. Currently, NeuSomatic can only support tumor-normal somatic mutation detection. We plan to extend it to tumor-only mode in near future.

amit21AIT commented 5 years ago

Can you suggest any other tool or technique for somatic mutation detection using tumor - only mode because i don't have the normal.bam file

msahraeian commented 5 years ago

@amit21AIT I guess methods like MuTect2 and VarDict can perform tumor-only calling, although they may have difficulty in filtering some FPs and germline calls without normal match.

Just wondering if there was an update from the developers on when an extension to tumor-only mode may be available?
