How to create a mutation landscape from a VCF file?

Question

[gprashant17]

I have a VCF file which I have obtained from an aligned BAM file, and I want to identify somatic mutations. I would like to create a mutation landscape so that I can easily compare with databases like dbSNP, COSMIC, etc.

Is there a way to do this? Or is there any other way I can use my VCF file to compare with publicly available mutation datasets?
