Varscan Filters Not Being Applied

Hi all,

I am analysing a tumor/normal pair with Varscan with the following command:

java -jar VarScan.v2.3.6.jar somatic normal.mpileup tumor.mpileup output --min-coverage 8 --min-reads2 4 --min-strands2 2 --min-var-freq 0.1 --somatic-p-value 0.05

Despite the filter settings it appears that only the minimum coverage, minimum reads supporting the variant and minimum variant frequency are being enforced while I still get variants with a somatic p-value above 0.05 and variants supported by either forward and reverse strand. (strand bias filter also does not work)

Did someone encountered this problem before or has any clue what might be wrong?

Thanks!

Noel

Just to add: the filters do work if I apply the somaticFilter command to my output. Just a bit annoying that it does not work on first instance.
