[ensembl-dev] Request to add one species to VEP pre-built cache

Hi Will,

Just a quick tip. Using the perl -n switch avoids 'while(<>) { }' and -l switch avoids having to terminate print statements with '\n'. So your code can be tidied up a touch with:
gzip -dc 44394_ref_Zonotrichia_albicollis-1.0.1_chrUn.fa.gz | perl -lne 'if(/^\>/) { $id = (split /\|/, $_)[3]; print "> $id";} else {print}' > 44394_ref_Zonotrichia_albicollis-1.0.1_chrUn.fa

Also, is the space in '> $id' intentional? That's not typical behaviour for fasta files.
Cheers,

Chris

Hi Dan,

We have in fact just updated our GTF converter script to support GFF too (get the new release, 81, for this capability).

However, giving it a go just now with that file I noticed the FASTA file supplied doesn't play nicely with our indexer, so I tweaked the FASTA to get it to run. Long story short, here's the cache:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12936195/zonotrichia_albicollis.tar.gz

And here's the long story, i.e. what I did to generate it if you want to do the same:

wget ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/Zonotrichia_albicollis/GFF/ref_Zonotrichia_albicollis-1.0.1_scaffolds.gff3.gz
wget ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/Zonotrichia_albicollis/CHR_Un/44394_ref_Zonotrichia_albicollis-1.0.1_chrUn.fa.gz
gzip -dc 44394_ref_Zonotrichia_albicollis-1.0.1_chrUn.fa.gz | perl -e 'while(<>) { if(/^\>/) { $id = (split /\|/, $_)[3]; print "> $id\n";} else {print}}' > 44394_ref_Zonotrichia_albicollis-1.0.1_chrUn.fa
perl gtf2vep.pl<http://gtf2vep.pl> -i ref_Zonotrichia_albicollis-1.0.1_scaffolds.gff3.gz -fasta 44394_ref_Zonotrichia_albicollis-1.0.1_chrUn.fa -species zonotrichia_albicollis

Then run the VEP as follows:

perl variant_effect_predictor.pl<http://variant_effect_predictor.pl> -offline -species zonotrichia_albicollis -i variants.vcf

Hi,

I was trying to build a cache from GTF for white-throated sparrow by myself following the tutorial, but was not successful. If possible, could you please add this species to the download list? I would really appreciate that!

You may download the GFF3 annotation for this species from NCBI ftp (ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/Zonotrichia_albicollis/GFF/ref_Zonotrichia_albicollis-1.0.1_scaffolds.gff3.gz) and convert it to GTF.

Thank you very much!
