Newer versions of angsd (master 27april2015) supports basic vcf output. This will only include gl and gp tags which can be useful for certain external programs

Supply

  • -doVcf 1

Which is simply a wrapper around -gl -dopost -domajorminor -domaf.

Example

A full example commandline is given below:

 ./angsd -b list.list -dovcf 1 -gl 1 -dopost 1 -domajorminor 1 -domaf 1 -snp_pval 1e-6

Output files

This will generate a vcf file called angsdput.vcf.gz

angsdput.vcf.gz
##FORMAT=<ID=GL,Number=G,Type=Float,Description="scaled Genotype Likelihoods (these are really llh eventhough they sum to one)">

Notice that the sampleID is simply an ind followed by an integer. These correspond to the samples from the -b filelist.
