    How to filter out SNPs with Minor allele frequency less than 5% in VCF file

    Hello,
    I would like to filter out SNPs with allele frequencies in VCF file from multi-sample variant calling.
    I tried VCFtools with the following commands, but it doesn't work.
    vcftools --vcf input.vcf --recode --recode-INFO-all --stdout --maf 0.05 --max-maf 1 --out outpur.vcf
    Here is the vcf file format generated from samtools mpileup.
    #CHROM POS ID REF ALT QUAL FILTER INFO FORMAT 788 712 908 544 541 581 801 381 479 487 379 570

    I wonder if anyone could help me
    Thanks

    The DP4 part spells out how many reads aligned to reference and alternate allele. So you can parse based on that. You could do that with some finagling in Excel, if you had to.

      Advanced Sequencing Platforms Tackle Neuroscience’s Toughest Genomics Problems
      by SEQadmin2



      Genomics studies in neuroscience face a special challenge due to the brain’s complexity and scarcity of samples. Mapping changes in cell type and state using conventional next-generation sequencing methods remains challenging. Advances in technologies like single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and long-read sequencing have opened the door to deeper studies of the brain and diseases like Alzheimer’s, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and schizophrenia.

      Cancer Drug Resistance: The Lingering Barrier to Rising Survival
      by SEQadmin2



      Cancer survival rates have significantly increased in the last few decades in the United States, reaching a combined 70% 5-year survival rate by 2021. Behind this number, there are years of research to find new therapies, drug targets, and early detection methods. But there is one core challenge that keeps slowing down these advances, and it’s about drug resistance.

      There is no single reason why many patients don’t respond to treatment as expected. Cancer is...

      Reply to Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
      by GATTACAT
      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.
