Dear sir/Madam,



We are having difficulty to use variant effect predictor. We have Ensembl API 65, homo_sapiens_vep_65_sift_polyphen.tar.gz, VEP v2.3. we use the following command, and got an error. We have tried VEP 2.4, 2.6. Do you have any ideas how to solve it?







perl variant_effect_predictor.pl --host ensembldb.ensembl.org --user anonymous --port 5306 --db_version 65 --cache --dir /vep --sift b --polyphen b --ccds --hgvs --hgnc --regulatory --canonical --protein --check_existing --check_alleles --quiet --no_progress --force_overwrite --format vcf --custom FACT5728.vcf.gz,samtools,vcf,exact,0 --input_file FACT5728.vcf -o FACT5728.csv
