# setting value for parameter ploidy

Member Posts: 7

Hi,

Just wanted to confirm.. I have a data from 4 spores of a yeast (haploid) tetrad.. If I want to call out variants using all 4 spores (4 bam files), do I need to set -ploidy as 1 or as 4 (Number of samples in each pool * Sample Ploidy) ??

This is the code I am using:

java -d64 -Xms1g -Xmx4g -jar GenomeAnalysisTK.jar -glm SNP -nt 52 -R genome.fasta -T UnifiedGenotyper -I basename"_A.realigned.bam" -Ibasename"_B.realigned.bam" -I basename"_C.realigned.bam" -Ibasename"_D.realigned.bam" -ploidy 4 -o \$basename.snps.vcf -stand_call_conf 25.0 -stand_emit_conf 10.0


Thank you.

Thank you for the answer. Each spore is considered haploid .. and do I need to set -pnrm EXACT_INDEPENDENT ?? Sorry this is my first time using GATK.. I am bit confused with the parameters..
