Need help : gene with highest number of high quality SNPs in reference genome.

Hello everyone, this is my problem:

I am very new in this analysis. I have done bowtie2 for my genome sequence data and it was successfully run and got the output file in SAM format, and i converted it into BAM and VCF format, I have ~5600 scaffolds in reference genome file. If i want to know that which scaffold sequence consist maximum no. of SNPs and also want to know that how can i map these SNPs with the gene sequences.

Simply i want to know the gene with highest number of high quality SNPs in reference genome.

Please help me out.

Thanks in Advance !!

If you have a bed/vcf file with SNP information,

cat SNP.bed

chr1    150 151
chr1    301 302
chr1    501 502
chr1    900 901
chr2    177 177
chr2    188 188

and Exon information:

cat exons.bed

chr1    100 200 gene1   .   .
chr1    300 800 gene1   .   .
chr2    100 200 gene2   .   .
chr2    800 1000    gene2   .   .

To get the no of SNPs overlapping each gene:

intersectBed -a SNP.bed -b exons.bed -wb | groupBy -g 1,7 -c 7 -o count | cut -f2,3

gene1   3
gene2   2

This should work with a VCF file as well.
