Phase retained?

[colindaven]

Hi again,

will the phase of the reads be retained following correction ?

i.e. if I want to use the corrected reads for determining phasing and haplotypes , will this information be mixed from the alternative alleles or retained ?

I have used canu before to get nicely corrected reads, sadly the phase information is not retained.

cheers, Colin

Hey,

I haven't tried CONSENT for such a purpose yet, so I can't promise anything.

However, CONSENT was not designed with that purpose in mind. So I believe it will behave like most error correction methods, and mix up the information from the alternative alleles.

Let me know how it goes if you decide to run such an experiment!

Cheers, Pierre
