Pindel can detect breakpoints of large deletions, medium sized insertions, inversions, tandem duplications and other structural variants at single-based resolution from next-gen sequence data. It uses a pattern growth approach to identify the breakpoints of these variants from paired-end short reads.

Incorrect event coordinates near homopolymer runs #78
However it is clear from the raw Pindel output's pileup that the deletion has really occurred within the longer AAAAAAAAAAA run just to the right of the AAAA run where Pindel has called it.
Any thoughts on how this has happened? (Perhaps it's considered this to be one longer AA…AA homopolymer run with a couple of low-scoring T mismatches?) Or is there a more significant bug here?
