  • Extracting REF and ALT from VCF

    This may be a simple question.

    I am trying to extract CHR, POS, REF and ALT and other info from a VCF file to a txt file using vcftools. Can somebody point me how to get REF and ALT? I don't get this information but everything else.

    Thanks
    -K.

    I think vcf-to-tab does exactly that:
    vcf-to-tab < file.vcf

      Thank you, id0. It works and I get the genotypes. But I don't get other information from the FORMAT fields. I know I can use --extract-FORMAT-info separately and 'paste' these two lists, but I would be more comfortable if I can get the genotypes as well as the format fields information at the same time. Anyway, I thank you for the solution.

        Also, I will be just happy with the ALT entries instead of actual variants. Is it possible to get that?

        Thanks

          vcf's are naturally text files. If yours isn't, it's just compressed, so uncompress it.

            Thank you swbarnes2. I found VariantsToTable in GATK does exactly what I wanted.

              Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
              by seqadmin


              Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
