    vcf-merge EMPTY OUTPUT!

    Hello community,

    I would like to merge different VCF files that contain genotype information of a single individual, in one single VCF file containing the information of all of them in different columns.

    I am trying to do so by using vcf-merge command from VCFtools. The program seems to work fine when you have your vcf files zipped and indexed, and I do success in getting an vcf file output with each individual in a column of the header BUT the SNP list is completely EMPTY. The file ends in the header.

    Any idea about why?

    Thanks so much

    I had the same issue...using the "-p vcf" option when indexing with tabix solved it for me. Did you remember this?

      Thank you shoegame. I was having this problem too. Didn't realize we neede to use the -p option. This solved it for me!

        Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
        by SEQadmin2


        I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

        Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

        From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
        by SEQadmin2


        Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


        The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
