BCFtools is a set of utilities that manipulate variant calls in the Variant Call Format (VCF) and its binary counterpart BCF. All commands work transparently with both VCFs and BCFs, both uncompressed and BGZF-compressed. 1️⃣ Search "bcftools download" 2️⃣ Go to 🔗https://www.htslib.org/download/ bcftools-1.22.tar.bz2 3️⃣ Installation cd bcftools-1.22 ./configure --prefix=/home/alex/Downloads/bcf_install make make install 4️⃣ Install throughout the system (optional) export PATH=/home/alex/Downloads/bcf_install/bin:$PATH 5️⃣ You may need this command to troubleshoot ./configure --prefix=/home/alex/Downloads/bcf_install --disable-bz2 --disable-lzma --disable-libcurl 6️⃣ Samtools Merge samtools merge --threads 3 -o AS_WO_ETOH.bam SRR30685383_MD.bam SRR30685384_MD.bam SRR30685385_MD.bam samtools merge --threads 3 -o AS_W_ETOH.bam SRR30685389_MD.bam SRR30685390_MD.bam SRR30685391_MD.bam ✉️Email- [email protected] Email me for further contact 📢 Save my video URL on a notepad in your lab computer.
