Hello. How can I get a bed file with IDs of indels and SNVs from chromosome 6 of hg38? I need it to use it in IGV.

Hello joselu ,

and where should these data come from? Do you have a vcf of your sample and want to convert it to a bed? You like to take data from a (public) database like dbSNP?

Please add some more information to your question.

And BTW: IGV can visualize vcf as well.

  1. Down load dbsnp chromosome 6 records
  2. Use bedops vcf2bed function to convert vcf to bed

ok. Please, Can you specify how I download all records of chromosome 6 in dbSNP? Than you.

One way to get common SNPs, assuming sufficient disk space:

$ wget -qO- ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/snp/organisms/human_9606_b151_GRCh38p7/VCF/common_all_20180418.vcf.gz | gunzip -c - > snps.vcf

Or all SNPs:

$ wget -qO- ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/snp/organisms/human_9606_b151_GRCh38p7/VCF/All_20180418.vcf.gz | gunzip -c - > snps.vcf

Either option will likely need a fair bit of disk space. The common subset will use less space.

Convert the VCF to BED, separating by variant classes, assuming 8GB of available system memory for sorting:

$ vcf2bed --insertions --max-mem=8G --sort-tmpdir=${PWD} < snps.vcf > snps.insertions.bed
$ vcf2bed --deletions --max-mem=8G --sort-tmpdir=${PWD} < snps.vcf > snps.deletions.bed
$ vcf2bed --snvs --max-mem=8G --sort-tmpdir=${PWD} < snps.vcf > snps.snvs.bed

Then extract a chromosome of interest from the BED files via a fast binary search:

$ bedextract chr6 snps.insertions.bed > snps.insertions.chr6.bed
$ bedextract chr6 snps.deletions.bed > snps.deletions.chr6.bed
$ bedextract chr6 snps.snvs.bed > snps.snvs.chr6.bed

This assumes UCSC chromosome naming scheme. This may or may not be the case depending on where you get your SNPs from. Replace chr6 with plain ole 6 if using NCBI as the source, as in the example wget calls shown above.

You can get a bed file of dbSNP for each chromosome directly on the ftp server.
