[ensembl-dev] common string between input VCF and VEP output

[Will McLaren]

Hello,

If you supply a unique variant identifier in the third column of the
VCF this will be used as the first column of the VEP output. If you
don't have one, it is simple to create one and add it to your VCF
using a simple perl script:

perl -e '$i = 1; while(<>) { if(/^#/) { print; next;}  chomp; @a =
split; $a[2] = "var".$i++; print join "\t", @a; print "\n";}'
my_old.vcf > my_new.vcf

In the next release of the VEP (due out in the next few days) you will
be able to produce comprehensive output in VCF format using the --vcf
flag, which will preserve the format of your input.

Will
