Hi all,

as many posts on this topic are quite old I would like to know what are 
the current recommendations for the BAQ parameters (-B or -E or none at 
all)?

1) Do you use GATK indel realignment and base quality score 
recalibration together with BAQ calculation as in the WGS/WES workflow 
example on the samtools page? There is a paper from Guo, 2012, The 
effect of strand bias in Illumina short-read sequencing data, mentioning 
strand bias problems with this combination

2) What is the drawback of turning BAQ calculation off (with the -B 
option), the manual only mentions a reduction of false-positive SNPs?

3) What is the difference between BAQ recalculation (-E) and no 
parameter at all, both should calculate BAQ values?

Any examples/recommendations from your current workflows are welcome.

Thanks,
Christian
