I am using the following tabix command to slice a GVCF file, but it is not creating sliced GVCF files. I have a bed file for the hg38 genome reference with 1MB regions and 1kb padding, and I want to slice using the bed file. I was wondering if you could help me with how to do it?

./tabix -R regions.bed -p vcf sample.g.vcf.gz > sample_sliced.gz

why would you need to slice a gvcf file ? all the tools in gatk can use a BED / interval / chromosome to narrow the analysis

I want to run gatk GenomicsDBImport tool to build a GenomicsDB. I want to slice it to reduce the computation time since I have 1300 gvcf files. What is your suggestion to run GenomicsDBImport efficiently?

What is your suggestion to run GenomicsDBImport efficiently?

call the GVCF by slices eg: chr1:1000000-2000000
run GenomicsDBImport for each sample for one interval
genotype gvcf for one interval

at the end concatenate all the VCFs

Then what is the best way to do slicing for 1Mb windows? Doing --intervals in the GenomicsDBImport?

No, in haplotypecaller

I already have gvcfs called by chromosome and there are 24 gvcfs per sample which I merged them into a single gvcf per sample. Now I want to slice them to smaller chunks.
