Filter VCF file

Hi

How do I filter the vcf file using below filters:

  1. number of reads per base is between 5 and 75
  2. base quality > or = to 30
  3. mapping quality >= 60
  4. variant quality >= 90
  5. distance of adjacent variant >= 5

Yes you are right from the header you can read

INFO=<id=dp,number=1,type=integer,description="total depth"="">

total number of sequence reads overlapping that position MQ : RMS mapping quality, similar to the version in the INFO field. (Integer) BQ : RMS base quality at this position
