Excerpt From SKILL.md

bcftools mpileup + call

Goal: Detect SNPs and indels from aligned reads using the bcftools pileup-and-call pipeline.

Approach: Generate per-position pileup likelihoods with mpileup, then call genotypes with the multiallelic caller.

"Call variants from my BAM file" → Generate genotype likelihoods from aligned reads and identify variant sites using a Bayesian caller.

mpileup Options

Goal: Control pileup generation with quality thresholds, annotations, and region restrictions.

Approach: Set minimum mapping/base quality, request specific FORMAT/INFO tags, and restrict to target regions.

Calling Models
