    SnpSift filters for dbNSFP fields

    Hi,

    I am trying to filter vcf files that were previously annotated using snpsift dbsnfp.

    A typical line with the annotations looks like:
    chr20 256727 rs3827147 T A 999.0 . DP=2287;VDB=3.180612e-02;RPB=2.176635e+00;AF1=0.5;G3=5.969e-50,1,5e-52;HWE=1.4e-07;AC1=20;DP4=724,698,499,366;MQ=44;FQ=999;PV4=0.0018,1,4.8e-66,1;EFF=DOWNSTREAM(MODIFIER||483||C20orf96|protein_coding|CODING|ENST00000400269|),INTRAGENIC(MODIFIER||||C20orf96||CODING||),NON_SYNONYMOUS_CODING(MODERATE|MISSENSE|Att/Ttt|I270F|C20orf96|protein_coding|CODING|ENST00000382369|8),NON_SYNONYMOUS_CODING(MODERATE|MISSENSE|Att/Ttt|I305F|C20orf96|protein_coding|CODING|ENST00000360321|10),SPLICE_SITE_REGION(LOW||||C20orf96|protein_coding|CODING|ENST00000360321|10),SPLICE_SITE_REGION(LOW||||C20orf96|protein_coding|CODING|ENST00000382369|8);dbNSFP_GERP++_RS=-1.09;dbNSFP_1000Gp1_ASN_AF=0.701048951048951;dbNSFP_Uniprot_acc=Q9NUD7|Q5JYC3;dbNSFP_MutationTaster_pred=P;dbNSFP_ESP6500_AA_AF=0.726736;dbNSFP_29way_logOdds=3.58;dbNSFP_SIFT_pred=T;dbNSFP_Polyphen2_HDIV_pred=B|B;dbNSFP_1000Gp1_AFR_AF=0.7378048780487805;dbNSFP_1000Gp1_EUR_AF=0.6437994722955145;dbNSFP_ESP6500_EA_AF=0.617442;dbNSFP_LRT_pred=N;dbNSFP_1000Gp1_AMR_AF=0.5027624309392266;dbNSFP_GERP++_NR=4.7;dbNSFP_1000Gp1_AF=0.6565934065934066;dbNSFP_Polyphen2_HVAR_pred=B|B;PhastCons=0.098 GT:PLP:SP:GQ 0/1:255,0,255:89:6:99 0/1:255,0,255:65:2:99 0/1:232,0,255:38:8:99 0/1:255,0,255:190:8:99 0/1:255,0,255:229:3:99 0/1:255,0,255:186:4:99 0/1:255,0,255:127:3:99 0/1:255,0,255:128:1:99 0/1:255,0,255:156:9:99 0/1:255,0,255:85:4:99 0/1:255,0,255:84:8:99 0/1:255,0,255:157:10:99 0/1:255,0,255:102:27:99 0/1:255,0,255:91:1:99 0/1:255,0,255:84:6:99 0/1:255,0,255:56:1:99 0/1:255,0,255:57:4:99 0/1:255,0,255:135:4:99 0/1:255,0,255:127:3:99 0/1:255,0,255:101:4:99

    Now I would like to filter the resulting vcf based on the predicted effect of the variant according to SIFT and PolyPhen2. I tried
    java -jar SnpSift.jar filter "(exists dbNSFP_SIFT_pred)" -f chr20.vcf
    which returns an empty vcf file.
    I also tried
    java -jar SnpSift.jar filter "(dbNSFP_SIFT_pred='D')" -f chr20.vcf
    However this resuts in a java error:
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Unknow return type 'Character'
    at ca.mcgill.mcb.pcingola.snpSift.lang.expression.Field.get(Field.java:62)
    at ca.mcgill.mcb.pcingola.snpSift.lang.expression.Expression.canCompareTo(Expression.java:20)
    at ca.mcgill.mcb.pcingola.snpSift.lang.condition.Eq.eval(Eq.java:20)
    at ca.mcgill.mcb.pcingola.snpSift.SnpSiftCmdFilter.evaluate(SnpSiftCmdFilter.java:191)
    at ca.mcgill.mcb.pcingola.snpSift.SnpSiftCmdFilter.run(SnpSiftCmdFilter.java:356)
    at ca.mcgill.mcb.pcingola.snpSift.SnpSiftCmdFilter.run(SnpSiftCmdFilter.java:322)
    at ca.mcgill.mcb.pcingola.snpSift.SnpSift.run(SnpSift.java:233)
    at ca.mcgill.mcb.pcingola.snpSift.SnpSift.main(SnpSift.java:60)



    So it seems that the filter itself (the way I construct it) is not recognizable by the program.

    Anybody has any idea what I am doing wrong hear and how to apply this and similar filters?


    Thanks in advance for any help

    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
