select Het variants from VCF

Question

[zengtony743]

I am trying to select heterozygotes from the VCF file. having been using this command many times and it works all the time. But something error pops up this time, do not know what is the problem.

1) partial data line information is like this

CHROM POS ID REF ALT QUAL FILTER INFO FORMAT 4751_42R

chr10 3101362 rs33880920 G C 189.60 . ABHom=1.00;AC=0;
AF=0.00;AN=0;BaseQRankSum=0.742;DB;DP=7;Dels=0.00;FS=0.000;HaplotypeScore=0.0000
;MQ=57.19;MQ0=0;MQRankSum=-0.742;QD=31.60;ReadPosRankSum=0.742 GT ./.
chr10 3101529 rs29314734 C T 116.56 . ABHet=0.500;ABHo
m=0.933;AC=0;AF=0.00;AN=0;BaseQRankSum=-0.212;DB;DP=14;Dels=0.00;FS=5.332;Haplot

finally figured it out...

because of "4751_42R” should be

"4751_42"

[Pierre Lindenbaum]

why ?? it's 4751_42R in the vcf header...

[zengtony743]

Sorry for the typo. I mean it should be "4751_42R" but not "4751_42R” the keyboard for the new Macbook is so confusing
