Assuming 'private' here refers to private variants. Private variants are those variants that are not found in other samples or are unique to a given sample in a multiple sample VCF file. For example, If my variant file or VCF file consists of 5 different strains of mice. There will be lot of variants that are exclusive to a strain and not present in other strains. In this case, those variants will be counted as private for that strain.

Thank you bhai!!So bhaiya, can you explain the difference between between true singleton and private doubleton??
