Hello!
I read the GATK docs and while they explain what their output contains, they don't explain what the content of their outputs mean. In my VCF outputs from PostprocessGermlineCNVCalls I have of course genotype, "GT", and it takes several values, apparently code like so:
0: expected (ref) copy number i.e. 2 for autosomal, 1 for male X/Y, 0 for female Y.
1: deletion
2: duplication
I learned this code from another Biostars post. But, then I have some GTs that are "./.", what is that supposed to mean? Missing? But why is it included in the output if it's missing?
Thanks in advance for your help and support, and have a merry weekend :)
