Dear all,

I have a multi-sample (>100) VCF file and a list of SNPs with CHR and POS for which the sample names and their genotypes need to be extracted.

For example, i have a SNP chr1:23455. I would like to know how many and which samples have homozygous alternate allele, heterozygous allele and homozygous reference allele.

Is there any existing tool that provides the above summary?

Many thanks!!!

You must normalise your VCF / BCF first; otherwise, this script will not work as expected. You can do this with:

bcftools norm -m-any MyVariants.vcf -Ov > MyVariants.Norm.vcf

I probably should explain what's going on here, too: It is divided into 4 parts (each part indicated by the starting <(bcftools on each line):

  1. First awk command: outputs the first few columns from the VCF/BCF

  2. Three BCFtools query commands: tabulate the number of samples having each variant type (as you requested). This will work for phased and/or un-phased variants. The output is the 3 columns named nHet, nHomAlt, nHomRef

  3. Three BCFtools view commands: look through the file again, saving sample names into an array called 'header', and then printing the indices of the array where a particular field (i.e. sample) has a particular type of variant. This is repeated for: a, heterozygous (HetSamples), b, homozygous (alt) (HomSamplesAlt), and c, homozygouse (ref) (HomSamplesRef).

I've tested it and verified results on a handful of 1000 Genome variants. I strongly encourage you to do some rigorous testing.

paste <(bcftools view MyVariants.Norm.vcf |\
    awk -F"\t" 'BEGIN {print "CHR\tPOS\tID\tREF\tALT"} \
      !/^#/ {print $1"\t"$2"\t"$3"\t"$4"\t"$5}') \
    \
  <(bcftools query -f '[\t%SAMPLE=%GT]\n' MyVariants.Norm.vcf |\
    awk 'BEGIN {print "nHet"} {print gsub(/0\|1|1\|0|0\/1|1\/0/, "")}') \
    \
  <(bcftools query -f '[\t%SAMPLE=%GT]\n' MyVariants.Norm.vcf |\
    awk 'BEGIN {print "nHomAlt"} {print gsub(/1\|1|1\/1/, "")}') \
    \
  <(bcftools query -f '[\t%SAMPLE=%GT]\n' MyVariants.Norm.vcf |\
    awk 'BEGIN {print "nHomRef"} {print gsub(/0\|0|0\/0/, "")}') \
    \
  <(bcftools view MyVariants.Norm.vcf | awk -F"\t" '/^#CHROM/ {split($0, header, "\t"); print "HetSamples"} \
    !/^#CHROM/ {for (i=10; i<=NF; i++) {if (gsub(/0\|1|1\|0|0\/1|1\/0/, "", $(i))==1) {printf header[i]","}; if (i==NF) {printf "\n"}}}') \
    \
  <(bcftools view MyVariants.Norm.vcf | awk -F"\t" '/^#CHROM/ {split($0, header, "\t"); print "HomSamplesAlt"} \
    !/^#CHROM/ {for (i=10; i<=NF; i++) {if (gsub(/1\|1|1\/1/, "", $(i))==1) {printf header[i]","}; if (i==NF) {printf "\n"}}}') \
    \
  <(bcftools view MyVariants.Norm.vcf | awk -F"\t" '/^#CHROM/ {split($0, header, "\t"); print "HomSamplesRef"} \
    !/^#CHROM/ {for (i=10; i<=NF; i++) {if (gsub(/0\|0|0\/0/,"", $(i))==1) {printf header[i]","}; if (i==NF) {printf "\n"}}}') \
    \

Dear Kevin/Sam, these are exactly what I need. However, I am wondering how to output the results into a file (e.g. a text file) instead of printing all of them in the screen. I am sorry that I am a true beginner of this field.

Hey, you just need to use the '>' character, which instructs the shell to re-direct the output of the command. The default is to send the command output to STDOUT, i.e., the screen.

For example, look at these examples:

echo "test"
echo "test" > out.out

What is contained in out.out? Now do the same to the other commands that you are using.

Wonderful! This works out perfectly! I am able to save it into a text file by adding '>' at the end of the code. Thanks a million for your help! I have been bothered by the this task (get variant counts (0/1 or 1/1) per SNP and print the sample ID out) for the whole weekend. Finally I found this poster which saved my life!

Okay - great. If you have multi-allelic records in your VCF/BCF, though, then you should split these before running the above script. Multi-allelic records may look like this:

5  166777  rs3811360  C  A,T  .  PASS  .  GT  1/2

These should be split with bcftools norm -m-any and would then become:

5  166777  rs3811360  C  A  .  PASS  .  GT  0/1
5  166777  rs3811360  C  T  .  PASS  .  GT  0/1

Also, please note that the script works for both phased and / or un-phased genotypes. Please check some of your output to ensure that it does exactly what you need.

Hi Kevin,

I used your code with some modification to add AC,AN, and AF as I change (bcftools query -f '[\t%SAMPLE=%GT]\n MyVariants.Norm.vcf to bcftools query -f '%CHROM\t%POS\t%REF\t%ALT\t%AC\t%AN\t%AF[\t%SAMPLE=%GT]\n' MyVariants.Norm.vcf | and also removing the first part 

paste <(bcftools view MyVariants.Norm.vcf |\
    awk -F"\t" 'BEGIN {print "CHR\tPOS\tID\tREF\tALT"} \
      !/^#/ {print $1"\t"$2"\t"$3"\t"$4"\t"$5}') \)

But it neither give me an error nor output. Could you please let me know is the modification right?

Thanks

use bioalcidaejdk http://lindenb.github.io/jvarkit/BioAlcidaeJdk.html and the following script: 

// all the types of Genotypes see https://samtools.github.io/htsjdk/javadoc/htsjdk/htsjdk/variant/variantcontext/GenotypeType.html
final List<GenotypeType> all_types = Arrays.asList(GenotypeType.values());
//print the header
println("CHROM\tPOS\tREF\tALT\t"+all_types.stream().map(T->"count."+T.name()+"\tsample."+T.name()).collect(Collectors.joining("\t")));
//for each variant
stream().forEach(V->println(
    //print the contig
    V.getContig()+"\t"+
    // print the position
    V.getStart()+"\t"+
    // print the REF alleles
    V.getReference().getDisplayString()+"\t"+
    // print the ALT alleles
    V.getAlternateAlleles().stream().map(A->A.getDisplayString()).collect(Collectors.joining(","))+"\t"+
    // loop over each type
    all_types.stream().map(T->

        String.valueOf(
            // collect all genotypes
            V.getGenotypes().stream().
            //genotype must have type T
            filter(G->G.getType().equals(T)).
            count()) +
        "\t"+
        // collect all genotypes
        V.getGenotypes().stream().
            //genotype must have type T
            filter(G->G.getType().equals(T)).
            //convert to sample name
            map(G->G.getSampleName()).
            // join string
            collect(Collectors.joining(","))
        ).
        collect(Collectors.joining("\t")))

a one-liner:

@Pierre, could this also get INFO column in the VCF along with CHROM,POS,REF and ALT?

ADD REPLY •

@pierre I have played around the command V.getAttribute and figured out that it needs a key which is to be printed from the INFO column. For example it prints the value associated with "INTERNAL" in the INFO filed by V.getAttribute("INTERNAL"). However, i would like to print all the keys and its values from the INFO column, while each row may have different key's sometimes.

in other words, simply print the INFO column to the output along with CHR, POS, ID, REF, ALT, INFO, count.NOCALL.... as it is in the VCF file.

The above command/script works well but fails when there is spanning deletions marked with * in the ALT field.

no, it's not supported by the hsjdk library. https://github.com/samtools/htsjdk/blob/master/src/main/java/htsjdk/variant/variantcontext/Allele.java#L385

I'd use bcftools query to output a file containing %GT, and then process that file using R or python or even awk

Yes, take a look at my previous answer here: A: calculate Per variant Heterozygosity from VCF file

So,bcftools norm -m - -Ou $VCF | your_one_liner?

Something along those lines - yes. It is critical to normalise the VCF first.

Also, this does not output sample names that have each genotype. That would require extra coding

Sample names with each GT would be bcftools query -f "... %GT"

do you mean that it should be done in steps? to get counts and sample names?

From what i can see, it would be better to break it up into different steps and then merge the output. I know how to do it but don't have time right now. I may try later today. Of course, somebody else may have a solution by then.

Yep, you'll need at least 2 - a "map" step to get genotypes for each individual at each site and a "reduce" step, to get counts or a CSV-list of per-genotype individuals.

I've posted an answer below, in part because you'll appreciate the greater room in viewing the code. Thanks to Ram for input (upvote)
