Output from the Identify Known Variants in One Sample (WGS) workflow
The Identify Known Variants in One Sample (WGS) tool produces four different output types.
- Read Mapping Report (
) The report consists of a number of tables and graphs that in different ways provide information about the mapped reads.
- Read Mapping (
) The mapped sequencing reads. The reads are shown in different colors depending on their orientation, whether they are single reads or paired reads, and whether they map unambiguously (see Mapped reads coloring).
- Variants Detected in Detail (
) Annotation track showing the known variants. Like the "Overview Variants Detected" table, this table provides information about the known variants. Four columns starting with the sample name and followed by "Read Mapping coverage", "Read Mapping detection", "Read Mapping frequency", and "Read Mapping zygosity" provides the overview of whether or not the known variants have been detected in the sequencing reads, as well as detailed information about the Most Frequent Alternative Allele (labeled MFAA).
- Genome Browser View Identify Known Variants (
) A collection of tracks presented together. Shows the annotated variants track together with the human reference sequence, genes, transcripts, coding regions, target regions coverage, the mapped reads, the overview of the detected variants, and the variants detected in detail.
It is a good idea to start looking at the mapping report to see whether the coverage is sufficient in the regions of interest (e.g. > 30 ). Please also check that at least 90% of the reads are mapped to the human reference sequence.
When this has been done you can open the Genome Browser View file (see 15.11).
The Genome Browser View includes the overview track of known variants and the detailed result track in the context to the human reference sequence, genes, transcripts, coding regions, targeted regions, and mapped sequencing reads.

the context of the human genome and external databases.
Finally, a track with conservation scores has been added to be able to see the level of nucleotide conservation (from a multiple alignment with many vertebrates) in the region around each variant.
By double clicking on one of the annotated variant tracks in the Genome Browser View, a table will be shown that includes all variants and the added information/annotations (see 15.12).

variant track with information about if the variant has been detected or not,
the identified zygosity, if the coverage was sufficient at this position and
the observed allele frequency.
Note We do not recommend that any of the produced files are deleted individually as some of them are linked to other outputs. Please always delete all of them at the same time.
