Including tbi file along with VCF when running VEP on remote dataset (GnomadV3)

Hi,

I am trying to run VEP on remote data from GnomadV3. I was hoping to run it remotely, without the need to download the dataset. However, when I try to run it remotely, I get an error that VEP cannot find the tbi file. Is there a way to include it in the code?

    vep -i input.vcf -o out.vcf --vcf --cache --force_overwrite\
 --custom https://gnomad-public-us-east-1.s3.amazonaws.com/release/3.1.2/vcf/genomes/gnomad.genomes.v3.1.2.sites.chr6.vcf.bgz,gnomADg,vcf,exact,0,AF,AF_afr,AF_amr,AF_asj,AF_eas,AF_fin,AF_nfe,AF_oth

Thanks!

vcf vep gnomad annotation

tbi is just indexing of your vcf and it doesn't require to include in the code. Just index your tbi in the same directory where your vcf file is.

I understand that. The problem is the files are not local. I am trying to reach the VCF and index file from https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/downloads without downloading them

I need a way to redirect the code to the location of the index file.

Unfortunately, there's no way to point the VEP to a different dir, the tbi files have to be in the same directory.

thanks for your response
