Hello, I have a multi-sample VCF file, with about 4000 contigs/loci represented. Many of these contigs contain multiple SNPs, meaning the SNPs are linked to one another in this case. However, some of my downstream analyses do not handle linked markers well, so I would like to be able to filter my VCF file so that I am left with a single SNP per contig. If there were a way to randomly select one SNP per contig, that would be great. Any ideas about how to achieve this? As far as I can tell, VCFtools does not allow this.

vcftools does have a --thin option, and if you set it to the maximum contig size then there will be only 1 SNP per contig (--thin 100000, for example).
It may select the first SNP in the contig, though.Providing nextRAD genotyping and PacBio sequencing services. http://snpsaurus.com -
Great, thanks SNPsaurus, this is working nicely. I would still like to do a 'random SNP per locus' option, and compare results to what I'm getting with this 'first SNP per locus' method, but this might require some more advanced programming skills.Comment

The sequencing world is rapidly changing due to declining costs, enhanced accuracies, and the advent of newer, cutting-edge instruments. Equally important to these developments are improvements in sequencing analysis, a process that converts vast amounts of raw data into a comprehensible and meaningful form. This complex task requires expertise and the right analysis tools. In this article, we highlight the progress and innovation in sequencing analysis by reviewing several of the...05-06-2024, 07:48 AM -
The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...04-22-2024, 07:01 AM
