Class VCFFileReader

java.lang.Object
  htsjdk.variant.vcf.VCFFileReader

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Closeable, java.lang.Iterable<VariantContext>

public class VCFFileReader
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Closeable, java.lang.Iterable<VariantContext>

Simplified interface for reading from VCF/BCF files.

Constructor Summary

VCFFileReader(java.io.File file)
Constructs a VCFFileReader that requires the index to be present.

VCFFileReader(java.io.File file, boolean requireIndex)
Allows construction of a VCFFileReader that will or will not assert the presence of an index as desired.

VCFFileReader(java.io.File file, java.io.File indexFile)
Constructs a VCFFileReader with a specified index.

VCFFileReader(java.io.File file, java.io.File indexFile, boolean requireIndex)
Allows construction of a VCFFileReader with a specified index file.

Method Summary

static IntervalList	fromVcf(VCFFileReader vcf) Converts a vcf to an IntervalList.
static IntervalList	fromVcf(VCFFileReader vcf, boolean includeFiltered)
VCFHeader	getFileHeader() Returns the VCFHeader associated with this VCF/BCF file.
static SAMSequenceDictionary	getSequenceDictionary(java.io.File file) Returns the SAMSequenceDictionary from the provided VCF file.
static boolean	isBCF(java.io.File file) Returns true if the given file appears to be a BCF file.
CloseableIterator<VariantContext>	iterator() Returns an iterator over all records in this VCF/BCF file.
CloseableIterator<VariantContext>	query(java.lang.String chrom, int start, int end) Queries for records within the region specified.

Constructor Detail

VCFFileReader

public VCFFileReader(java.io.File file)

Constructs a VCFFileReader that requires the index to be present.

VCFFileReader

public VCFFileReader(java.io.File file,
                     java.io.File indexFile)

Constructs a VCFFileReader with a specified index.

VCFFileReader

public VCFFileReader(java.io.File file,
                     boolean requireIndex)

Allows construction of a VCFFileReader that will or will not assert the presence of an index as desired.

VCFFileReader

public VCFFileReader(java.io.File file,
                     java.io.File indexFile,
                     boolean requireIndex)

Allows construction of a VCFFileReader with a specified index file.

Method Detail

isBCF

public static boolean isBCF(java.io.File file)

Returns true if the given file appears to be a BCF file.

getSequenceDictionary

public static SAMSequenceDictionary getSequenceDictionary(java.io.File file)

Returns the SAMSequenceDictionary from the provided VCF file.

fromVcf

public static IntervalList fromVcf(java.io.File file)

Parse a VCF file and convert to an IntervalList The name field of the IntervalList is taken from the ID field of the variant, if it exists. if not, creates a name of the format interval-n where n is a running number that increments only on un-named intervals

Parameters:

file -

Returns:

fromVcf

public static IntervalList fromVcf(java.io.File file,
                                   boolean includeFiltered)

fromVcf

public static IntervalList fromVcf(VCFFileReader vcf)

Converts a vcf to an IntervalList. The name field of the IntervalList is taken from the ID field of the variant, if it exists. If not, creates a name of the format interval-n where n is a running number that increments only on un-named intervals Will use a "END" tag in the info field as the end of the interval (if exists).

Parameters:

vcf - the vcfReader to be used for the conversion

Returns:

an IntervalList constructed from input vcf

fromVcf

public static IntervalList fromVcf(VCFFileReader vcf,
                                   boolean includeFiltered)

getFileHeader

public VCFHeader getFileHeader()

Returns the VCFHeader associated with this VCF/BCF file.

iterator

public CloseableIterator<VariantContext> iterator()

Returns an iterator over all records in this VCF/BCF file.

Specified by:

iterator in interface java.lang.Iterable<VariantContext>

query

public CloseableIterator<VariantContext> query(java.lang.String chrom,
                                               int start,
                                               int end)

Queries for records within the region specified.
