I am trying to extract snps out of merged vcf file using gatk SelectVariants command but it is giving following error:

htsjdk.tribble.TribbleException: The provided VCF file is malformed at approximately **line number 73**: Duplicate allele added to VariantContext: G, for input source: merged.vcf

This is line 7 of vcf file:

Kindly provide your valuable suggestions to resolve this error.

Many thanks

I observed that my reference genomic fasta file contains both lower case and upper case nucleotides. Do I need to convert lower case nucleotides into upper (all nucleotides in one case) before calling variants? I performed variant calling through bbtool callvariants.sh.

This is an error in your input vcf file. The REF allele MUST be different from the ALT allele.

Yes Pierre there is lower case g in REF and upper case G in ALT field. My question is that why variant caller is calling opposite case allele as variant when its not and how can I overcome it? I used callvariants.sh for variant calling.

Thanks

Not only opposite case but same case nucleotides are also present in vcf fle.

again, it's a problem with the variant caller, which is ?

Its bbmap tool callvariants.sh. I think you are right because I did not get such error when I called variants through freebayes.
