I have run variant calling using samtools with the following settings:

samtools view -bq 20 -F 1796 bamfile.bam | samtools mpileup -EDSgu -d 5000 -f 
Refseq.fa -L 5000 -F 0.05 -| bcftools view -Nvg - > Variants.vcf

I generated a list of variants however I am confused why no variant was called 
for the site below:

#CHROM           POS      ID        REF   ALT    QUAL   FILTER INFO             
                 FORMAT
     chr11        8693405   .           G       .       23.8        .       
DP=106;VDB=4.848171e-01;AF1=1;AC1=2;DP4=0,0,28,77;MQ=60;FQ=-35.6        
PL:DP:SP        255:105:0

When I look at the calls made using mpileup I can see that all sites are either 
A or T (see below) (read depth 105) so it seems completely incorrect to call 
the Ref base which is G.

mpileup

chr11   8693405 G       105     
taTAattAttATaatatTttATTtaaaTtaaAtATaAtttTttttTatAaTTaaatttaaTTtattAAtaatTtttattAaaatatttatAaataTataattaaA
       
?=@@=@@?>=?A>>=>@A>@@?A@@>@A@@>A>AA??>>>?@A@@@?@A??A@@??A?>?AAA?>>?A@AA??A?AA@A>A?A?AAAA?>@?????>@?A@A>??



This data is taken from high read depth sequencing of the HapMap sample NA12878 
so I know that at this position the correct call should be:

chr11   8693405 .       G       A,T     24600   PASS    
BasesToClosestVariant=668;LEN=1,1;TYPE=snp,snp  GT      2|1


So the correct bases seem to be aligning just that the variant is not being 
called.

I am using samtools version 0.1.19


Any suggestions what might be happening here.



Many thanks

Kevin
