Vcf file with 3 samples and trying to count how many mutations for each sample

Hello,

I have a vcf file and want to find the counts for how many variants are occurring for each of the 3 samples independently. I have a vcf that shows the different variants between the samples (ex. 0/1 0/0 1/1 vs 0/1 0/1 0/1). I have tried some of the code and help from other posts but nothing is properly working. I have tried the codes below and they did not work or were incorrectly counting.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

$ java -jar dist/bioalcidaejdk.jar  -e 'stream().flatMap(V->V.getGenotypes().stream().filter(G->G.isCalled()&&!G.isHomRef()).map(G->V.getContig()+"\t"+G.getSampleName())).collect(Collectors.groupingBy(Function.identity(),Collectors.counting())).forEach((K,C)->println(K+":"+C));'  example.vcf

$ java -jar dist/bioalcidaejdk.jar -e 'final Map<String,Long> count=new HashMap<>(); stream().forEach(V->{for(int i=0;i +1 < V.getNSamples();i++) for(int j=i+1;j < V.getNSamples();j++) {final Genotype gi= V.getGenotype(i);final Genotype gj= V.getGenotype(j); if(gi.sameGenotype(gj)) {String key=gi.getSampleName()+"_"+gj.getSampleName(); long n = 1L + (count.containsKey(key)?count.get(key):0L); count.put(key,n); };} });  count.forEach((K,V)->println(K+" "+V)); ' example.vcf

Below are 2 examples from the codes used above. The first code didn't seem to work as I went through a .hmp file of the variants on excel and manually went through a couple of chromosomes counting for a sample and the numbers didn't add up for that chromosome. The second code gave back counts that were the same for all 3 samples and I know that isn't correct.

the first code counts the genotypes carrying a ALT variant per chromosome per sample

the second code count the nomber of time the genotype for a sample is the same that for another sample.

When dealing with vcf files, bcftools should be the first thing to try, so here's how I'd do it:

1) bgzip file, 2) tabix index it, 3) loop through samples, 4) extract each sample's private variants, 5) count them

bgzip -f example.vcf; tabix -fp vcf example.vcf.gz
for sample in `bcftools query -l example.vcf.gz`; do
 echo -n "$sample "
 bcftools view -c1 -s $sample example.vcf.gz | grep -cv ^#
done

Having said that, you could try coding it yourself, so here's how I'd do it:

1) loop through the 3 vcf sample columns, 2) extract sample name, 3) count all non-0-second-gt-allele variants

for i in 10 11 12; do
 sample=$(grep -m1 ^#CHROM example.vcf | cut -f$i)
 echo -n "$sample "
 grep -v ^# example.vcf | cut -f$i | grep -cP "^\d[/|][1-9]"
done

If you don't know the number of samples in advance, you could go for a more generic for loop:

for i in $(seq 10 `grep -m1 ^#CHROM example.vcf | awk '{print NF}'`); do
