Hello, I am new to exome sequencing analysis. I got 2 variants among which one was confirmed by Sanger Sequencing. It had a general CIGAR string associated with it. ( some matches, then mismatches/insertions/deletions, then again some matches). The other unconfirmed mutation has a good "QUAL" value but has a CIGAR string as "CIGAR=1X". CIGAR documentation tells about M representing an alignment match and X representing a sequence mismatch.
I am unable to understand this and so I would really appreciate any help in understanding this kind of CIGAR representation and what does it tell about that mutation.
Thank you in advance.
