    Converting a VCF with SNPs and indels to BED format

    Does anyone know of tools or have custom scripts (aside from "vcf2bed") that are able to convert between a VCF containing both indels and SNPs into BED format? The tricky part is creating the correct BED regions to capture the indel variants, and I haven't been able to find anything on the internet thus far.

    This should do the trick right?

    Code:
    awk '! /\#/' Variants.vcf | awk '{if(length($4) > length($5)) print $1"\t"($2-1)"\t"($2+length($4)-1); else print $1"\t"($2-1)"\t"($2+length($5)-1)}' > Variants.bed

      Does anyone know how to incorporate the reference/variant nucleotides into this script? I'm specifically hoping to achieve the following format from a .vcf input file:

      CHR \t 0-POSITION \t 1-POSITION \t REF|ALT

      e.g.

      chr02 1242 1243 A|G

      Alternatively if there are software packages that can be used to do this, what's the best option?

      Thanks

        16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
        by SEQadmin2




        NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...

        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
