Hi,

I have performed variant calling with samtools. For, some reason some of the 
variants have N in ALT column as shown below:

Chromosome      Position        SNPid   Reference       Alternate       QUAL    
MQ   DP
chr21    29989187    .    A    AN    96.50    60    46

This is a homozygous mutation supported by 46 reads with MQ of 60.

Checked the bam file for this position using mpileup

samtools mpileup -AB -f ref.fa -r chr21:29989186-29989188 input.bam

The output is

chr21    29989187    A    49    ....,,,,..,,,,+1n,,...,,,,..,,,,,...,,,...,..,,.,.,^].    
7BF<<FFFB7FF<0FIFIIIFBFIIBFFF<IIIFFB<IIFII7BIBIBB

Is this a bug in the code that it is called as "AN" insertion. How should i infer this mutation.

Any comments from the users of this community are highly valuable.
