Converting .sam to .vcf
I have some files in the .sam format which I obtained after I ran Stampy on some Cancer reads. I now have to convert the .sam files to .vcf files to do some analysis and am clueless on how to do the conversion. Any help or hints would be much appreciated.

Use samtools with mpileup and use bcftools command:
samtools and bcftools are part of the samtools collection.
PLEASE DO examine the options to each command and understand them.
samtools mpileup -R -d 1000 -l rangehg18.chr -uf hg18.fa test.bam | bcftools view -g - > test.vcf
additional note: you will want to convert your sam into a sorted bam ("test.bam" in the example above)Last edited by Richard Finney; 06-19-2012, 07:34 AM.

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
