Annotate vcf file, add filters or custom annotations
cat in.vcf | vcf-annotate [OPTIONS] > out.vcf
About: Annotates VCF file, adding filters or custom annotations. Requires tabix indexed file with annotations.
Currently annotates only the INFO column, but it will be extended on demand.
-a, --annotations <file.gz>
The tabix indexed file with the annotations: CHR\tFROM[\tTO][\tVALUE]+.
-c, --columns <list>
The list of columns in the annotation file, e.g. CHROM,FROM,TO,-,INFO/STR,INFO/GN. The dash in this example indicates that the third column should be ignored. If TO is not present, it is assumed that TO equals to FROM.
-d, --description <file|string>
Header annotation, e.g. key=INFO,ID=HM2,Number=0,Type=Flag,Description='HapMap2 membership'. The descriptions can be read from a file, one annotation per line.
-f, --filter <list>
Apply filters, list is in the format flt1=value/flt2/flt3=value/etc.
-h, -?, --help
This help message.
+
Apply all filters with default values (can be overridden, see the example below).
-X
