  • Invalid VCF files from Lifescope - allele "-"

    I found some problematic VCF files created by Lifescope software. The sequencing was done on Solid 5500. These VCFs cannot be merged with other VCF files. The variants in these files are all indels. When I run vcf-validator it seems the "-" in the allele is the problem. Some vcf-validator output:

    [lifescope@scyld small.indel]$ perl -I/home/lifescope/bin/vcftools_0.1.11/perl /home/lifescope/bin/vcftools_0.1.11/bin/vcf-validator 37_1_3/2013_08_13_exome_high.gff3.vcf
    Warning: The file is not sorted, for example chr12:53690189 comes after chr12:53690191
    chr12:53690189 .. Could not parse the allele(s) [-]
    [lifescope@scyld small.indel]$ perl -I/home/lifescope/bin/vcftools_0.1.11/perl /home/lifescope/bin/vcftools_0.1.11/bin/vcf-validator 37_1_4/2013_08_13_exome_high.gff3.vcf
    Warning: The file is not sorted, for example chr11:108100105 comes after chr11:108100112
    chr11:108100105 .. Expected combination of A,C,G,T,N for REF, got [-], the offending chars were [-]

    Does any other Lifescope user have the same problem? Is there an easy way to fix this? Thank you in advance!

    Advanced Tools Transforming the Field of Cytogenomics
    by seqadmin


    At the intersection of cytogenetics and genomics lies the exciting field of cytogenomics. It focuses on studying chromosomes at a molecular scale, involving techniques that analyze either the whole genome or particular DNA sequences to examine variations in structure and behavior at the chromosomal or subchromosomal level. By integrating cytogenetic techniques with genomic analysis, researchers can effectively investigate chromosomal abnormalities related to diseases, particularly...

    How RNA-Seq is Transforming Cancer Studies
    by seqadmin



    Cancer research has been transformed through numerous molecular techniques, with RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) playing a crucial role in understanding the complexity of the disease. Maša Ivin, Ph.D., Scientific Writer at Lexogen, and Yvonne Goepel Ph.D., Product Manager at Lexogen, remarked that “The high-throughput nature of RNA-seq allows for rapid profiling and deep exploration of the transcriptome.” They emphasized its indispensable role in cancer research, aiding in biomarker...
