Individual chromosome SNP VCF

Question

[win]

Hi all, i am looking for hg38 dbSNP VCF file but for each chromosome separately. I am unable to download the entire genome VCF file hence i need a smaller individual VCF file for testing and development.

Any help is highly appreciated.

You could download a subset with tabix for the regions you need.

tabix -h ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/snp/organisms/human_9606/VCF/00-All.vcf.gz '2:39967768-39967768' > dbsnp_2_39967768_39967768.vcf
