  • How to view only the variants that are present in multiple VCF files?

    Suppose I have 10 .vcf files and I want to generate a .vcf file that only contains the common variants that are present in all of the 10 files. Can I use GATK CombineVariants followed by SelectVariants intersection to achieve this? Is there another way?

    Thank you

    "If you want to extract just the records in common between two VCFs, you would first run CombineVariants on the two files to generate a single VCF and then run SelectVariants to extract the common records with -select 'set == "Intersection"', as worked out in the detailed example in the documentation guide."

      I tried vcf-isec and it did not seem to work.

      I was eventually able to install and setup vcftools, including sorting, indexing, and compressing the vcf files with tabix and bgzip.

      The vcf-isec command gave a warning that column names do not match (i.e. 1-Normal and 1-Tumor). The command ran, but the output vcf file was 28 bytes of unreadable characters. Each of the 11 input files are around 80kb.

      These are vcf files generated using MuTect (for comparing tumor to normal samples).

      I am not sure if vcf-isec will work with MuTect vcf files or if there is something I am doing wrong. Maybe I can process the files ahead of time to get them to work.

      The idea is that MuTect gives a list of somatic mutations in cancer samples by comparing to matched normal samples. What I am trying to do is take several MuTect vcf files, and see which variants are present in multiple vcf files or the 'intersection.'

        Genetic Variation in Immunogenetics and Antibody Diversity
        by seqadmin



        The field of immunogenetics explores how genetic variations influence immune responses and susceptibility to disease. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, Oscar Rodriguez, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Louisville, and Ruben Martínez Barricarte, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University, shared recent advancements in immunogenetics. This article discusses their research on genetic variation in antibody loci, antibody production processes,...

        Choosing Between NGS and qPCR
        by seqadmin



        Next-generation sequencing (NGS) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are essential techniques for investigating the genome, transcriptome, and epigenome. In many cases, choosing the appropriate technique is straightforward, but in others, it can be more challenging to determine the most effective option. A simple distinction is that smaller, more focused projects are typically better suited for qPCR, while larger, more complex datasets benefit from NGS. However,...
