    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

    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.

    Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
    by SEQadmin2


    I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

    Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
