Are Ns counted into DEPTH?

Open Y-Pei opened this issue 7 months ago • 2 comments

Many thanks for the extremely fast tool!

In the doc it says:

DEPTH          The total depth at the position SUM(A, C, T, G, DEL)

While from our test data, it seems that Ns are also counted into DEPTH:

REF  	 POS      	 REF_BASE	 DEPTH 	 A     	 C     	 G     	 T     	 N    	 INS	 DEL	 REF_SKIP	 FAIL	 NEAR_MAX_DEPTH
chr1 	   2228805	 G       	  37139	     51	      1	  23423	      9	 13655	   0	   0	        0	  118	 false

Could you comment on whether if this in intentional?

Thanks!
