=== Introduction ===
 
  
vt is a tool set that calls, genotypes and filters short variants.  It provides profiling of variants to aid in QC.
 
 
 
=== Location ===
 
 
Internal usage
 
 
  /net/fantasia/home/atks/programs/vtools/vt
 
 
External usage
 
 
  download from sourceforge/github
 
 
=== Discovery ===
 
 
Discovery is performed at per sample level, the evidence sites lists for each sample are then merged and site discovery statistics are computed.
 
The user then makes a decision on cut offs to make to create an initial candidate site list.
 
 
Generates site list with info fields E and N.
 
 
vt discover -i NA12878.bam -o NA12878.sites.vcf -g hs37d5.fa
 
 
Left align variants.  This is required as left alignment if insertions and/or deletions within a read is sometimes insufficient to ensure complete left alignment.
 
 
vt left_align -i NA12878.bam -o NA12878.leftaligned.sites.vcf -g hs37d5.fa
 
 
Evidence site lists are combined across samples and split by sites to allow for parallelization.
 
 
vt merge_and_split_sample_vcf -i NA12878.sites.vcf,NA12879.sites.vcf,NA12880.sites.vcf -l 5000
 
 
Discovery statistics are computed.  These statistics will allow you to choose a suitable cut off for creating a suitable candidate site list.
 
 
vt compute_discovery_stats -i 1-1000000.sites.vcf -o 1-1000000.annotated.sites.vcf
 
 
Merge site lists.
 
 
vt merge -i 1000000.sites.vcf,2000000.sites.vcf,3000000.sites.vcf -o candidate.sites.vcf
 
 
Plot charts to help with candidate list selection criteria.
 
 
vt plot_discovery -i candidate.sites.vcf
 
 
 
A calling pipeline implemented in a make file is available here.
 
 
=== Genotyping ===
 
 
Each individual is genotyped at a set of sites.
 
 
vt genotype -i NA12878.bam -o NA12878.sites.vcf -g hs37d5.fa
 
 
Genotype sample VCFs are combined across samples and split by sites.
 
 
vt merge_and_split_sample_vcf -i NA12878.sites.vcf,NA12879.sites.vcf,NA12880.sites.vcf -o 1-1000000.sites.vcf
 
 
Features are computed.
 
 
vt compute_features -i 1-1000000.sites.vcf -o 1-1000000.annotated.sites.vcf
 
 
A  genotyping pipeline implemented in a make file is available here.
 
 
=== Filtering ===
 
 
Requires a set of features AND an installed copy of SVMLight.
 
 
vt filter NA12878.bam -i NA12878.sites.vcf -o NA12878.svm.sites.vcf --pos positive.sites.vcf --neg negative.sites.vcf
 
 
A filtering pipeline implemented in a make file is available here.
 
 
=== Left Alignment ===
 
 
Left align indel type variants in a VCF file.
 
 
vt left_align -i mills.vcf -o mills.leftaligned.vcf
 
 
=== Profile SNPs ===
 
 
Profile SNPs.
 
 
vt profile_snps -i mills.snps.sites.vcf
 
 
=== Profile Indels ===
 
 
Profile indels.
 
 
vt profile_indels -i mills.indels.sites.vcf
 
 
=== Profile MNPs ===
 
 
Profile MNPs.
 
 
vt profile_mnps -i mills.mnps.sites.vcf
 
 
=== Sort ===
 
 
Sort variants according to contig lists in header.
 
 
vt sort -i mills.sites.vcf
 
 
=== Split by variant ===
 
 
Split VCF files by variant type.
 
 
vt split_by_variant -i mills.sites.vcf
 
 
=== Compute Feature ===
 
 
Compute feature of variant.
 
 
vt compute_feature -i mills.vcf
 
 
=== Summarize Variants ===
 
 
Summarizes variants present in VCF file.
 
 
vt peek -i mills.vcf
 
 
=== Plot Type ===
 
 
Plot based on type.
 
 
vt plot_<type> -i mills.xml
 
 
vt plot_<type> -i mills.xml,hgdp.xml,um.xml
 
 
=== Resource Files ===
 
 
dbSNP
 
OMNI 1000G
 
Mills
 
HAPMAP
