    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...

        Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
        by SEQadmin2



        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

        New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
        by SEQadmin2


        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
