SOP/CallingVariantsRNAseq
v32 v33 2 2 3 3 * RNAseq includes reads mapped across splice junctions and is associated with high variability of coverage, so typical variant calling pipelines (for DNA) can lead to lots of false positives and negatives. 4 * GATK is currently the gold standard for calling variants in RNA-seq data.
