Hello-

It's me again. I am trying to read in the kaviar database (vcf format) using VariantAnnotation()'s readVcfAsVRanges. It reads in the file, but gives me an error and does not include any metadata information.

Here is what the VCF looks like:

##fileformat=VCFv4.1
##fileDate=20150211
##source=bin/makeVCF.pl
##reference=Kaviar-141127 (hg19)

##INFO=<ID=END,Number=.,Type=Integer,Description="End position">
##INFO=<ID=DS,Number=A,Type=String,Description="Data Sources containing allele">
##contig=<ID=1,assembly="hg19">

Here is my command, and the outcome:

The warning says there is no 'AD' field in your file. You can import metadata fields by providing param=ScanVcfParam(). See ?ScanVcfParam for details on specifying fields and ?ScanVcfHeader for exploring header info.

Hi Valerie-

Thanks for your help. Using mcols() instead of info() for the VRanges object worked:

##set reference 
humie_ref = "hg19"

#########################
## Read in Kaviar File ##
#########################
##add kaviar info fields
kav_params = VRangesScanVcfParam(info= c("AF", "AC", "AN", "DS"))

##read in kaviar vcf as VRange object
kaviar <- readVcfAsVRanges(Kaviar.vcf.gz, humie_ref, param=kav_params)

##rename chromosomes to match with vcf files
kaviar <- renameSeqlevels(kaviar, c("1"="chr1"))

##################################
## Gather VCF files to process  ## 
##################################
##read in everything but sample data for speediness
vcf_param = VRangesScanVcfParam(samples=NA)
vcf <- readVcfAsVRanges(test.vcf, humie_ref, param=vcf_param)

#################
## Match SNP's ##
#################
##create data frames of info to match on
vcf.df = data.frame(chr =as.character(seqnames(vcf)), start = start(vcf), end = end(vcf), ref = as.character(ref(vcf)), alt=alt(vcf), mcols(vcf), stringsAsFactors=FALSE)

kav.df = data.frame(chr =as.character(seqnames(kaviar)), start = start(kaviar), end = end(kaviar), ref = as.character(ref(kaviar)), alt=alt(kaviar), mcols(kaviar), stringsAsFactors=FALSE)
