Dear all I am writing to you to understand why FastaAlternateReferenceMaker is missing a deletion in the final consensus. I am using gatk v. 2.8-1 and this commandline:
gatk -R ref.fa -T FastaAlternateReferenceMaker -o reads_vs_ref_gatk_consensus.fa --variant reads_vs_ref_var.vcf
output from gatk was:

There are 3 variants in the vcf file: the first is a SNP and is reported, the second is an insertion and is reported but the third, a deletion, is missing. Could you please tell me where's the problem? I attached both reference and vcf file.
Many thanks.
