    Filtering over 10 vcf files

    Hi there, does anyone know a tool where I can compare more than 2 vcf files at once? I have 10 samples and I want to get common variants among them. I can run Bedtools -IntersectBed 5 times, comparing one to one and that to the other and so on, or try vcf -isec and do the same multistep process. But I'd like to also know if there are subsets within the 10 that I might miss with my method. For example a variant that is common to 7 samples only but not all 10. I couldn't find that by my method as it would depend a lot on the order I do the filtering in.
    Any help or suggestions?
    Many thanks

    It looks like VCFtools' vcf-compare does what you want it to do:

      Thanks! yes, from the description it should work. I've been trying to install and run vcf tools but haven't managed to do it yet. Can't seem to find a good guide to the vcf install.
      I guess there is no simpler way to do this? I've compiled a concatenated file of all my variants that has a sample name column. I am trying to sort by gene name and then pull out all genes that for each gene name, have all sample names...

        Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
        by SEQadmin2


        Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

        Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
        by SEQadmin2



        Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

        There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

        Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.
