how to filter vcf file based on sample DP? vcf tools does not work

Question

[Ana]

I have faced with a problem in filtering my vcf file, I am quite stuck. I have tried several options but none of them worked out. I want to do filtering at the "sample level" and keep only those with DP >=10. I have tried in VCFtools --minDP flag and --maxDP are not working!

I have tried all of these codes, non of them working

vcftools --vcf myfile.vcf  --minDP 10 --recode --out out_1.vcf

bcftools filter --soft-filter 'FMT/%DP>10' my.file.vcf`

does anyone has any solution for this problem?

You can take a look to this thread: VCF filtering by depth

For other hand, SnpSift is a great tool for filtering VCF files. In your case the command would be: cat variants.vcf | java -jar SnpSift.jar filter "( DP > 10)" > filtered.vcf

Could you please explain what do you mean by saying " I want to do filtering at the "sample level" and keep only those with DP >=10." ?

Preferably with several lines of input and desired output as examples. So far I am not sure what do you want. Thank you
