  • sorting vcf- can't get vcftools to work

    I am trying to run CountCovariates in GATK. I downloaded the most recent dbsnp file from the broad institute site. The problem is it is not sorted in chromosomal order. I have vcf-tools installed and tried to sort using the -c command. It is telling me "Obsolete version of sort command installed, please run without the -c option." But, if I type in vcf-sort -h , the usage says the -c is available. I have checked to make sure we have the most recent version. I don't find the vcf-tools website to be very helpful. Could someone point me in the right direction or do you know where I can download a sorted vcf file? Is there another program that I can use?

    I'm not sure which version of vcf-tools you have. The most recent one (0.1.7) doesn't have a -c option for vcf-sort. Perhaps try updating vcf-tools.

      The -c works only on system with newer unix sort commands which support the --version-sort option.

        Improved Targeted Sequencing: A Comprehensive Guide to Amplicon Sequencing
        by seqadmin



        Amplicon sequencing is a targeted approach that allows researchers to investigate specific regions of the genome. This technique is routinely used in applications such as variant identification, clinical research, and infectious disease surveillance. The amplicon sequencing process begins by designing primers that flank the regions of interest. The DNA sequences are then amplified through PCR (typically multiplex PCR) to produce amplicons complementary to the targets. RNA targets...

        Targeted Sequencing: Choosing Between Hybridization Capture and Amplicon Sequencing
        by seqadmin




        Targeted sequencing is an effective way to sequence and analyze specific genomic regions of interest. This method enables researchers to focus their efforts on their desired targets, as opposed to other methods like whole genome sequencing that involve the sequencing of total DNA. Utilizing targeted sequencing is an attractive option for many researchers because it is often faster, more cost-effective, and only generates applicable data. While there are many approaches...
