Hi all,

I would like to try GenomicsDB in a sample VCF. This VCF is obtained from an imputation software (Gencove) and it is not a g.VCF. I have tried the following code:

docker run -it broadinstitute/gatk:latest   

gatk GenomicsDBImport -V /data/genomicsdb/results/LUSE03081974/LUSE03081974.vcf.gz --genomicsdb-workspace-path my_database --intervals chr20,chr21  

This gives the following error:

A USER ERROR has occurred: Failed to create reader from file:///data/genomicsdb/results/LUSE03081974/LUSE03081974.vcf.gz because of the following error:
    Unable to parse header with error: /data/genomicsdb/results/LUSE03081974/LUSE03081974.vcf.gz, for input source: file:///data/genomicsdb/results/LUSE03081974/LUSE03081974.vcf.gz

Some comments in GATK forums like here and here, suggest the following:

  1. Double check that there is a .vcf.gz.tbi index file corresponding to each .vcf.gz file and that both the index file and VCF file were compressed.
    1. Run ValidateVariants on the VCF file.
    2. Run HaplotypeCaller

I have checked the first point and the result from ls /data/genomicsdb/results/LUSE03081974 is the following:

human_g1k_v37.fasta      
human_g1k_v37.fasta.fai     
LUSE03081974.vcf.gz
LUSE03081974.vcf.gz.csi
LUSE03081974.vcf.gz.tbi
LUSE03081974.vcf.gz.tbi.gz
LUSE03081974.bai        
LUSE03081974.bam        

Therefore, I try the next two points, run ValidateVariants:

gatk ValidateVariants -R /data/genomicsdb/results/LUSE03081974/human_g1k_v37.fasta -V /data/genomicsdb/results/LUSE03081974/LUSE03081974.vcf.gz --validation-type-to-exclude ALL --java-options '-DGATK_STACKTRACE_ON_USER_EXCEPTION=true'

Which gives me an error:

    A USER ERROR has occurred: The specified fasta file (file:///data/genomicsdb/results/LUSE03081974/human_g1k_v37.fasta) does not exist.

So there appears to be a problem with the fasta file. From comments in this forum and GATK, the fasta files need to have their corresponding .fai index and .dict . So, I try to create an index using:

gatk CreateSequenceDictionary -R /data/genomicsdb/results/LUSE03081974/human_g1k_v37.fa  

which produces a new error:

[Mon Jul 11 16:27:36 GMT 2022] picard.sam.CreateSequenceDictionary done. Elapsed time: 0.00 minutes.

    at org.broadinstitute.hellbender.Main.main(Main.java:289)

So I am not sure where my problem is. I originally thought it could be that genomicsDB worked only with g.VCF and not VCFs, but then I ended up not being able to use ValidateVariants or CreateSequenceDictionary. It seems to me that I might have some issues with naming/referencing files, but I am not sure what is it.

Some additional information, if its useful: using gatk latest from docker and java version:

openjdk version "1.8.0_242"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_242-8u242-b08-0ubuntu3~18.04-b08)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.242-b08, mixed mode)

I appreciate your help!

docker run -it broadinstitute/gatk:latest

is /data/genomicsdb/results/LUSE03081974 visible from docker ?

I suspect this might be the problem. I didn't know that I had to make my data visible to docker. Would you mind suggesting me how? (or pointing to any reference). Thank you.

Solved:

docker run -v /data/genomicsdb/results/LUSE03081974:/data -it broadinstitute/gatk:latest

Now the files are visible from docker, in the data directory. Thank you, Pierre!
