Snpsift to filter a number of genes

Question

[kay]

Hello,

I have a VCF file, and would like to pull out all variants in various genes of interest (I have about 200 genes)

I created a txt file with all my genes of interest.

cat variants.vcf | java -jar SnpSift.jar filter --set input.txt "EFF[*].GENE in SET[0]" > filtered.vcf

This seemed to filter out all the variants, and I got an empty VCF File without any variants.

• Is the SET function not meant to be used like this ?
• Do I have to use a loop instead ?

Could someone help with this ?

Thanks, K
