Which software should be used to get SNPs different from reference but same in all reads?

I have sequenced many sequences and would like to identify SNPs that are fixed in the population. Which software could I used to call such SNPs (i.e. , SNPs that are different from the reference sequence in all reads)? Thanks.

snp

Are you trying to match the SNPs to reference sequences and show only the non-matching ones? Sorry, but I do not fully understand your question.

What you're looking to do is fairly straightforward. I'd just call SNPs with Samtools, then merge the lists with a little script.

From that look of it, what you are trying to do is the standard SNP calling procedure. You might want to try out the bwa -> GATK pipeline where you can find: https://www.broadinstitute.org/gatk/

Once you've got the vcf, it will be easy to obtain the information you want (something like homozygous variation on the sample)
