Additional Information

Read filters

Window size

This tool uses a sliding window on the reference.

Window start: 0 bp before the locus
Window stop: 100 bp after the locus

Inherited arguments

The arguments described in the entries below can be supplied to this tool to modify its behavior. For example, the -L argument directs the GATK engine restricts processing to specific genomic intervals (this is an Engine capability and is therefore available to all GATK walkers).

FilterLiftedVariants specific arguments

This table summarizes the command-line arguments that are specific to this tool. For details, see the list further down below the table.

--variant	RodBinding[VariantContext]	NA	Input VCF file
Optional
--out	VariantContextWriter	stdout	File to which variants should be written

Argument details

Arguments in this list are specific to this tool. Keep in mind that other arguments are available that are shared with other tools (e.g. command-line GATK arguments); see Inherited arguments above.

--out / -o ( VariantContextWriter with default value stdout )

File to which variants should be written.

--variant / -V ( required RodBinding[VariantContext] )

Input VCF file. Variants from this VCF file are used by this tool as input. The file must at least contain the standard VCF header lines, but can be empty (i.e., no variants are contained in the file). --variant binds reference ordered data. This argument supports ROD files of the following types: BCF2, VCF, VCF3
