Max mutation parents outlier in Viridian data #228
Comments
max_mutations_per_site is also much higher at 2060 vs 890. |
The mutation C>T at position 21846 lies within amplicon 72 (ARTIC v3), which suffers from dropout in Delta samples, and so the position may be affected by sequencing artifacts (see this paper). |
Do the reversions tend to happen within Delta (B.1.617.2) lineages? |
Confirming that this site is the one with a chain of 128 successive mutations. The mutations with > 2 parents are flip-flopping between C and T. |
Note that 28271 showed similar problems in the GISAID data, so seems pretty likely to be problematic and a good candidate for exclusion |
As of 2021-02-26 we have a max_mutation_parents value of 129, which is clearly pathological. Investigate.
