Making nice plots based on the different metrics from VCF file

Hi all, I have a multi sample VCF file and i'd like to make a numerous plots with different metrics of the mentioned file for some report/presentation. I use bcftools for that, but wondering if there are any other useful tools or R functions, etc. for my purposes? Thanks!

Try this out: https://github.com/pwwang/vcfstats

It looks promising. Defenitely worth to try.

Thanks, let me know if you have any questions in using it.

Another option: https://vcf.iobio.io

Take a look at this: plot-VCF

It allows you to plot different VCF localization and gene analysis straight from your VCF file

As example, you can directly plot the mutation rate (overall, grouped and single-sample) for each gene: plotVCF() gene mutation rate

Or plot variants based on any of their flags in VCF (e.g. Variant Allele Frequency): VCF AF plot

And many more options (well documented on the GitHub page)
