Q1

First, running:

tabix -f -p vcf NA24694.gvcf.gz

then

gatk --java-options "-Xmx10g" HaplotypeCaller    -R /home/databases/references/human/GRCh38_full_analysis_set_plus_decoy_hla.fa    -I /home/projects/22126_NGS/exercises/snp_calling/NA24694.bam  -L chr20  -O NA24694.gvcf.gz  --dbsnp  /home/databases/databases/GRCh38/Homo_sapiens_assembly38.dbsnp138.vcf.gz  -ERC GVCF 
gatk  GenotypeGVCFs -R /home/databases/references/human/GRCh38_full_analysis_set_plus_decoy_hla.fa -V NA24694.gvcf.gz  -L chr20 --dbsnp  /home/databases/databases/GRCh38/Homo_sapiens_assembly38.dbsnp138.vcf.gz -O NA24694.vcf.gz
bcftools stats  NA24694.vcf.gz

Should give you:

SN	0	number of SNPs:	75684

so 75684 SNPs.


Q2

First run:

tabix -p vcf NA24694.vcf.gz

Then:

tabix  NA24694.vcf.gz chr20:32000000-33000000 |wc -l

So 1290 variant sites.

Q3

There are 2 ways to do this:

bcftools view -H --type=snps NA24694.vcf.gz  chr20:32000000-33000000 |wc -l 

or

tabix -h NA24694.vcf.gz chr20:32000000-33000000 |bcftools view -H --type=snps -  |wc -l

Both will give you: 956.


Q4


tabix NA24694.vcf.gz  chr20:32011209-32011209

You get:

chr20	32011209	rs147652161	G	A	264.64	.	AC=1;AF=0.500;AN=2;BaseQRankSum=-3.010e-01;DB;DP=24;ExcessHet=3.0103;FS=3.949;MLEAC=1;MLEAF=0.500;MQ=60.00;MQRankSum=0.00;QD=11.03;ReadPosRankSum=-3.580e-01;SOR=0.552	GT:AD:DP:GQ:PL	0/1:15,9:24:99:272,0,533

The line above says that you probably have G and A and the site is heterozygous. G is the reference and A the alternative allele. The allele depth is 15Gs, 9As, the depth is 24, the genotype quality is 99, the PHRED genotype likelihoods are homo ref, hetero, homo alt: 272,0,533

tabix NA24694.vcf.gz  chr20:32044279-32044279

You get:

chr20	32044279	rs4525768	C	T	799.06	.	AC=2;AF=1.00;AN=2;DB;DP=21;ExcessHet=3.0103;FS=0.000;MLEAC=2;MLEAF=1.00;MQ=60.00;QD=28.99;SOR=0.990	GT:AD:DP:GQ:PL	1/1:0,21:21:63:813,63,0

The line above says that you are probably homozygous for T. C is the reference and T the alternative allele. The allele depth is 0Cs, 21Ts, the depth is 21, the genotype quality is 63, the PHRED genotype likelihoods are homo ref, hetero, homo alt: 813,63,0.


Q5

Both are heterozygous sites however this is the better one:

chr20	32974911	rs6088051	A	G	403.64	.	AC=1;AF=0.500;AN=2;BaseQRankSum=0.693;DB;DP=22;ExcessHet=3.0103;FS=0.000;MLEAC=1;MLEAF=0.500;MQ=59.78;MQRankSum=-6.860e-01;QD=19.22;ReadPosRankSum=-1.703e+00;SOR=0.871	GT:AD:DP:GQ:PL	0/1:8,13:21:99:411,0,247

and the worse one:

chr20	64291638	rs369221086	C	T	30.64	.	AC=1;AF=0.500;AN=2;BaseQRankSum=-2.530e-01;DB;DP=6;ExcessHet=3.0103;FS=0.000;MLEAC=1;MLEAF=0.500;MQ=28.18;MQRankSum=-9.670e-01;QD=5.11;ReadPosRankSum=-8.420e-01;SOR=0.693	GT:AD:DP:GQ:PL	0/1:4,2:6:38:38,0,114

The first site has a depth of 21, 8As and 13Gs. In the second case, the genotype quality is 38 and the first was 99. The second one only has 4Cs and 2 Ts for a total depth of 6 which is not sufficient to confidently call a heterozygous site.


Q6

Either use:

bcftools view -H --types=snps  NA24694.vcf.gz chr20:32000000-33000000 |cut -f 3 |grep -v rs |wc -l

or

bcftools view -H --types=snps  NA24694.vcf.gz chr20:32000000-33000000 |cut -f 3 |grep "\." |wc -l

you will get 17.


Q7

17 is very little compared to the number of SNPs 956. However, this is very expected. Given that the individual is Han Chinese, this ethnic group is very well represented in dbSNP.
