Parameter

Function

Threshold

QuaByDepth (QD)

QD is the variant quality divided by unfiltered depth of non-hom-ref samples

> 2

FisherStrand (FS)

Strand Bias tells us whether the alternate allele was seen more or less often on the forward or reverse strand than the reference allele

< 60

RMSMappingQuality (MQ)

It is the root mean square mapping quality over all the reads at the site

> 40

MappingQualityRankSum Test (MQRankSum)

It compares the mapping qualities of the reads supporting the reference allele and the alternate allele

> − 12.5

ReadPosRankSum Test (ReadPosRankSum)

It compares whether the positions of the reference and alternate alleles are different within the reads

> − 8

StrandOddsRatio (SOR)

Strand Odds is another way to estimate strand bias using a test similar to the symmetric odds ratio test

< 4
