Split VCF file based on a list of samples

[LeonDK]

I have a VCF file and a file with a list of samples. I would like to create a new VCF file only containing the samples on the list.

I could write a script, but if someone already created something clever, that'd be nice?

Can't seem to find the relevant option in plink/bcftools?

Thank you!

For future reference,

vcf-subset -c sample1,sample2,sample3 myFile.vcf.gz > mySlicedFile.vcf

did the trick!

and I got vcftools from https://vcftools.github.io/downloads.html
