  • 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

        Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
        by seqadmin


        Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
