I would like to limit the base-quality-score to phred 13 (similar to default of samtools mpileup (1.3.1)), using bam-readcount (0.8.0). Despite various command modifications, I'm not getting the expected output.

Default:

bam-readcount -f human_g1k_v37.hotspot.fasta final.bam -l F5DNA.txt --max-warnings 0

Mpileup: (-Q0, not showing the variants)

 samtools mpileup -f human_g1k_v37.hotspot.fasta -d 1000000 -A -l F5DNA.txt -Q0 final.bam 
1       169519049       C       8085

Mpileup: (default of -Q13, not showing the variants

samtools mpileup -f human_g1k_v37.hotspot.fasta -d 1000000 -A -l F5DNA.txt -Q13 final.bam 
1       169519049       C       4072

Looking at IGV, the readcounts at this position are 8085, which matches both mpileup and bam-readcount output when minimum base quality is 0. Any idea why bam-readcounts does not appear to filter the same when the minimum base quality is set to 13?
