meta (map)

Groovy Map containing sample information
e.g. [ id:‘test’, single_end

]

input (file)

  • GEN/SAMPLE file: --gensample2vcf
  • gVCF file: --gvcf2vcf
  • HAP/SAMPLE file: --hapsample2vcf
  • HAP/LEGEND/SAMPLE file: --haplegendsample2vcf
  • TSV file: --tsv2vcf
*.{gen,sample,g.vcf,hap,legend}{.gz,}

input_index (file)

(Optional) The index for the input files, if needed

*.bed

meta2 (map)

Groovy Map containing reference information
e.g. [ id:‘genome’ ]

fasta (file)

(Optional) The reference fasta, only needed for gVCF conversion

*.{fa,fasta}

bed (file)

(Optional) The BED file containing the regions for the VCF file

BCFtools is a set of utilities that manipulate variant calls in the Variant Call Format (VCF) and its binary counterpart BCF. All commands work transparently with both VCFs and BCFs, both uncompressed and BGZF-compressed. Most commands accept VCF, bgzipped VCF and BCF with filetype detected automatically even when streaming from a pipe. Indexed VCF and BCF will work in all situations. Un-indexed VCF and BCF and streams will work in most, but not all situations.
