find homozygous SNPs between two samples's VCF files.

I have done variant calling by bcftools and got vcf files for 18 different samples. Now I want to get the number of SNPs between the samples. Ref or ALT allele should be in the homozygous condition. if one samples has homozygous Ref allele and other sample has homozygous allele then take them into consideration but if both the samples has homozygous ALT allele then ignore that becouse this would not be SNP between the samples. I want to ignore the hetero condition of alleles.

I tried vcf-compare that does not seems answering what i need.

do you have 18 VCF or one VCF with 18 samples ? Also , do you have searched biostars.org for similar posts ?

I have 18 vcf files and i also single vcf file for 18 samples made by vcf-merge command. I am okay to choose any one if the solution is there. I have tried searching in biostars.

single vcf file for 18 sample

using bioalcidaejdk and a multi-sample vcf: http://lindenb.github.io/jvarkit/BioAlcidaeJdk.html

loop over each genotype (gx) vs another genotype(gy) , check ( gx.isHomRef && gy.isHomVar) OR (gy.isHomRef && gx.isHomVar)

 gunzip -c input.vcf.gz  |\
java -jar dist/bioalcidaejdk.jar -e 'final Map<String,Long> count = new HashMap<>(); stream().forEach(V->{for(int x=0;x+1< V.getNSamples();x++) {Genotype gx=V.getGenotype(x);if(!gx.isHom()) continue; for(int y=x+1;y< V.getNSamples();++y) {Genotype gy=V.getGenotype(y);if(!gy.isHom()) continue; if(!((gx.isHomVar() && gy.isHomRef()) || (gx.isHomRef() && gy.isHomVar()))) continue; final String pair=gx.getSampleName()+"\t"+gy.getSampleName();long n=count.getOrDefault(pair,0L);count.put(pair,n+1L);}}});count.forEach((K,V)->println(K+"\t"+V));' -F VCF

Thank you for the help but there is problem whicle running this command.

java -jar bioalcidaejdk.jar -e 'final Map<String,Long> count = new HashMap<>(); stream().forEach(V->{for(int x=0;x+1< V.getNSamples();x++) {Genotype gx=V.getGenotype(x);if(!gx.isHom()) continue; for(int y=x+1;y< V.getNSamples();++y) {Genotype gy=V.getGenotype(y);if(!gy.isHom()) continue; if(!((gx.isHomVar() && gy.isHomRef()) || (gx.isHomRef() && gy.isHomVar()))) continue; final String pair=gx.getSampleName()+"\t"+gy.getSampleName();long n=count.getOrDefault(pair,0L);count.put(pair,n+1L);}}});count.forEach((K,V)->println(K+"\t"+V));' -F VCF all18_samples_merged.vcf

It generated following:

[WARN][SnpEffPredictionParser]no INFO[EFF] or no description. This VCF was probably NOT annotated with SnpEff (old version). But it's not a problem if this tool doesn't need to access SnpEff Annotations.

[WARN][VepPredictionParser]NO INFO[CSQ] found in header. This VCF was probably NOT annotated with VEP. But it's not a problem if this tool doesn't need to access VEP Annotations.

[WARN][AnnPredictionParser]no INFO[ANN] or no description This VCF was probably NOT annotated with SnpEff(ANN version) . But it's not a problem if this tool doesn't need to access SnpEff Annotations.

PLEASE give your suggestion what i am doing wrong.

Do i need to compress into .gz format and run exactly what you have suggested.

there is no problem, these are just some basic messages. You can hide them by redirecting stderr

java -jar bioalcidaejdk.jar -e '(...)' -F VCF all18_samples_merged.vcf 2> /dev/null

if there is no output, it means that there is no genotype matching your criteria.

after 

... count.forEach((K,V)->println(K+"\t"+V));'

you can print the number of items in 'count'

... count.forEach((K,V)->println(K+"\t"+V)); System.out.println("SIZE:"+count.size());'

yes It is not generating any output but in reality there should be output of some SNPs between the samples.

show me a VCF line containing a positive test please.

Note: here .(dot) represent that the genotype is homozygous reference allele i.e. dot==CC allele. here 3 samples having ALTERNATIVE homozygous allele (1/1) and remaining 15 samples are .(dot). So what i want is that it should be SNP between between sample # 1 and aall 15 samples which are dot. sample # 6 and samples which are having dot and also for sample # 14 and all 15 samples which are dott.

but it should not be considered as SNP between samples 1, 6 and 14 becoz all are 1/1 means homozygous ALT alllele.

This can be done 2 two bcftools commands piped together.

The first command selects the two samples of interest out of a VCF that can have multiple samples The second commands filters on that 4 alleles have to be called in total, of which 2 alternative and excludes variants were any of the two samples is heterozygous. 

bcftools view -s sample1,sample2 | bcftools view -i 'AN==4 & AC=2'  --genotype ^het

I have VCF file named all18_sample.vcf . for first command i tried bcftools view -s sample1.bam,sample2.bam all18_sample.vcf

This is what it shows : <bcf_hdr_subsam> 2 samples in the list but not in BCF

There is no output .
