slivar expr : unaffected patients not selected
gael-millot opened this issue · 8 comments
Hi.
May be not an issue.
Using the attached files, when I use:
--family-expr 'all:fam.every(function(s){return s.hom_ref || s.het || s.hom_alt})'
--family-expr 'all:fam.every(function(s){return s.affected || ! s.affected})'
I only have the 7 affected patients selected, not the 4 unaffected ones in the VCF output.
when I use:
--family-expr 'all:fam.every(function(s){return ! s.affected})'
I have an empty VCF output.
Thanks for taking care of this message.
Best.
Hi Gael,
for family expressions, slivar reports the IDs of affected samples only, this works intuitively for most cases, but indeed, can be confusing at times.
If you want to do something with unaffected samples, you can use --sample-expr.
If the field generated by --sample-expr can then be used in slivar tsv -s, then my problem is indeed solved. Thanks !
However: what kind of expression can be written with --sample-expr to be sure to take systematically all the samples ?

You'll have to describe more what you're trying to do.
Sorry. Slivar is used in a pipeline with parameters defined in a config file. An option of this pipeline would be to get the .tsv file without any filtering made on the VCF (just benefit from the annotations). --pass-only can do it for slivar expr if I understood well but slivar tsv requires the mandatory -s option. Thus, the idea would be to fill the -s option but being certain that no filter is made. Thanks !
--sample-expr 'all:sample.GQ >= 0' seems to do not take all the samples (probably when GQ is .).
--sample-expr 'all:sample.DP >= 0' seems to do the job, but I would need to be sure (i.e., what about empty info in DP ?)
Thanks.
I think you can you can use --sample-expr 'all:true'
Works ! Thanks a lot !
