Criteria Used by RECall for Rejecting a Sequence.20,24

Failure category Description
Stop codon Any unambiguous stop codon (TGA, TAA, or TAG)
Bad inserts An insertion relative to the reference sequence that is not a multiple of 3 bases, resulting in a frameshift
Bad deletion A deletion relative to the reference sequence that is not a multiple of 3 bases, resulting in a frameshift
Too many mixtures >3.5% of nucleotides sequences called as mixtures
N count ≥5 Ns (any base) in the sequence
Mark count ≥100 positions marked as being potentially problematic
Single coverage >3 consecutive bases of single-read coverage with phred scores of 40
Low quality Any section where the quality of all coverage is too low to make a call
