Hi Rasmus,

mpileup outputs the candidate indel 

MyRef 120 . G GGAAT

which is then not called by bcftools (*). The -v option is not present,
therefore all input records are printed on output. The -A option is not
present, therefore unused ALT alleles are trimmed. The INDEL tag is a
reminiscence of the site being a candidate indel.

I hope this helps

Petr


(*) that is, with the default options, it would be called with -mP 0.01
