  • tabix and 1000 genomes data

    Hi,

    I am trying to access the latest release of the 1000 genomes data to check a few snps. In the README file they say:
    "Each file has a tabix index associated with it allowing subsections to be downloaded using the tabix program... like this:
    tabix
    ftp://ftp.1000genomes.ebi.ac.uk/vol1...notypes.vcf.gz 1:233411980-245804116"

    I did that and I got a .tbi file. How do I open it or access it to look at the variants? I could not find any documentation explaining that.

    Thank you for your help!

      the tbi file it downloaded was the index file it uses to find the variants

      It should of also streamed the section vcf file to STDOUT and you will need to capture this in a file

      tabix -h ftp://ftp.1000genomes.ebi.ac.uk/vol1...notypes.vcf.gz 1:233411980-245804116 > myfile.vcf

      should give you a vcf file

      Its best to use the -h option from tabix as this gives you the header which is important for interpreting the file correctly

        Hi,

        I've red that someone had some problem with tabix. I have Windows 7 and I dowloaded tabix (tabix-0.2.3.tar.bz2) but I don't know how to install it. I use Samtools and I have no problems but with Tabix I'm in trouble. Could some one give me an help on how install it and make it work?

        Thanks

        Andrea

          Hi,
          I have a quick question about using tabix on the 1000 genomes data. I have used it to download some regions I am interested in. But I haven't got the header so I can't see the sample order. I thought there must be a way to ask tabix for the header, I tried what Laura mentions, but it says -h is not an option? Am I missing something?

          Thanks

                  Sometimes I feel like some things in bioinfo have been made rather difficult on purpose. The available 1,000 genomes data is a perfect example of this. There's some truth to this rant..

                  Sorry for the off-topic..

                    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...
