Attributes and methods of the Bio::DB::Pileup object

consensus the consensus nucleotide calculated as the nucleotide with highest count multiple nucleotides returned in a tie
coverage
the number of reads covering this position
non_ref_count
the number of reads that disagree with the reference nucleotide
non_ref_count_hash
a Hash with A,T,G and C as keys and the number each nucleotide appears in the pileup when that nucleotide is not
 
the reference
pos
the position in the reference sequence that this pileup represents
read_bases
the read nucleotides covering this position
read_quals
the quality scores of the read nucleotides covering this position
ref_base
the reference sequence nucleotide
ref_count
the number of times the reference nucleotide appears in the read nucleotides covering this position
ref_name
the name of the reference sequence
ar1, ar2, ar3
the allele calls from pileup
consensus1
the consensus of the reads according to SAMtools method of calculation
consensus_quality1
the quality score of the consensus according to SAMtools method of calculation
rms_mapq1
the root mean square mapping quality at the position
snp_quality1 the SNP quality at the position
