Hello,

I realize that bcftools som (self-organizing map) was used in the 1000 Genomes 
Project phase3 for filtering the variant calls made by samtools.  There is very 
limited documentation out there about this functionality; it looks might still 
be experimental.  Is this functionality ready to be used for production?  If 
not, could you please suggest an alternative for filtering variants called by 
Samtools/BCFtools?  'VCFutils.pl varFilter' has been the filtering method.   

For bcftools som, looks like one has to train it first using an annotation file 
of known variants (the annotations are like HWE, MP0 etc.).  Do you know if 
there is a training set handy on GRCh38?  

Another question is whether samtools/bcftools is suitable for calling variants 
with exome data.  I knew samtools/bcftools was used for low coverage calling in 
the 1000 Genomes Project.  Wonder if it can be used for calling variants for 
exome data, separately from low coverage data.  Calling low coverage plus exome 
data together might be a bad idea.

Thanks for your kind help in advance.

Holly
