How to convert to or get 1000 Genomes phase1 data mapped to hg18.

[hosang.jeon]

Hello.

I'm trying to annotate my variant data with 1000 genomes phase1 data.
(ALL.wgs.phase1_release_v3.20101123.snps_indels_sv.sites.vcf)

I need to convert above vcf file to hg18 and hg19(I think it's not so different with GRCh37).

It worked fine to convert from b37 to hg19 using liftOver.pl(gatk version).

But if I try to convert from b37 to hg18 it throws an exception with below error message.

##### ERROR ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
##### ERROR A USER ERROR has occurred (version 2.5-2-gf57256b):

##### ERROR ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I've tried to change my newRef file with gatk bundle 1.2, 1.5 and 2.2.
However it throws the same error.

I've also tried to convert it from hg19 to hg18 but it throws the same error.


Is there any way to get (hg18 mapped) 1000 genomes phase1 data?
or convert to hg18?

Thanks in advance.

Try UCSC's LiftOver

Thank you swbarnes2.

However, the converter you let me know only can handle bed format data.
I need to convert the data of vcf format.

Even though I can convert my vcf file to bed format, it loss lots of information such as INFO, FORMAT etc.

Is there any way to handle this problem?

Look about half way down for lift-over
