    Converter for vcf to bed format

    Hi all,

    Is there any converter that can convert vcf format files obtained by samtools vcfutils.pl to bed format?

    Because i want predict the variant effect using varian_effect_predictor of ensemble.

    ##fileformat=VCFv4.0
    #CHROM POS ID REF ALT QUAL FILTER INFO FORMAT GKUNU9Q04_chr1_sort.bam
    chr1 46707 . A G 7.59 . DP=2;AF1=1;CI95=0.5,1;DP4=0,0,0,2;MQ=60 PL:GT:GQ 38,6,0:1/1:49
    chr1 168576 . C T 4.61 . DP=2;AF1=1;CI95=0.5,1;DP4=0,0,0,2;MQ=60 PL:GT:GQ 34,6,0:1/1:49
    chr1 168635 . G A 17.1 . DP=3;AF1=1;CI95=0.5,1;DP4=0,0,0,3;MQ=60 PL:GT:GQ 49,9,0:1/1:63

    The awesome power of awk and sed.

    Code:
    sed -e 's/chr//' file.vcf | awk '{OFS="\t"; if (!/^#/){print $1,$2-1,$2,$4"/"$5,"+"}}'
    where you replace "file.vcf" with your file. Note this uses 0-based start coordinates, which are the proper BED format. If you want to use 1-based, change "$2-1" to just "$2".

      Thanks for reply,

      if suppose i want to put "-" reverse strand instead of "+", how can i put that using vcf file?

            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.
