Vcftools removes or retains samples from vcf files

Vcftools can remove or retain samples from the vcf file with the options-- indv and-- remove-indv, specifying which samples to retain or delete from the vcf file. You can use this option multiple times to specify multiple samples.

The specific usage is as follows:

Keep only two samples 1 and 10, and execute the following code:

Vcftools-vcf in.vcf-recode--recode-INFO-all-stdout-indv 1-indv 10 > out.vcf

Delete sample 1 and execute the following code:

Vcftools-vcf in.vcf-recode--recode-INFO-all-stdout-remove-indv 1 > out.vcf

If there are a large number of samples, you can also save the samples to the file id.txt, with one sample ID for each behavior, in the following format:

1105

Then use the following two options to retain or delete samples from the vcf file.

-- keep retention sample

-- remove deletes samples

The code is as follows:

Vcftools-- vcf in.vcf-- recode--recode-INFO-all-- stdout-- keep id.txt > out.vcf are all the contents of this article entitled "how to remove or retain samples from vcf files by vcftools".
