Intersect VCF files using the VCF_intersect module
The BWA 'mem' algorithms was used to align the NA18507 reads and generated BAM mapping fed to samtools+bcftools and to samtools+varscan to call variants. The resulting variants VCF-files were sorted, compressed, indexed are finally compared here using vcftools.
We will now identify the variant positions shared in both variant lists. The shared variants have more chance to be true than variant in a single caller output because our two callers are using different methods and therefore are biased differently.
- start the VCF_intersect module and link the two VCF placeholders to the full VCF data stored on the server for the bcftools and varscan callers Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destinationTake the files without gatk in the name
- start the job and wait for results
Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destinationThe content of the intersect file is the part of File#1 overlapped in File#2 and therefore contains all fields from File#1Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destinationIn order to get the two caller annotation sets, you can run the tool a second time and permute the two datasetsThe shared variants are now identified and can be annotated and screened for putative causative mutations as done in the next exercise
