Hello,

before I only used BWA and as you described in the best pratice I performed the realign step. Now I want to integrate in my pipeline Stampy associated with BWA.

Do you think, I should make the realign step ?

Thanks !

    I'm not familiar with the details of Stampy so I can't comment on it directly, but basically unless the aligner you use includes a step that specifically realigns reads around indels, doing the realignment step as per best practices is always recommended.
