| 3 | The [http://vcftools.sourceforge.net/specs.html VCF (Variant Call Format) specification] describes most of what you need to know. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | Tags in the FILTER, INFO, and FORMAT fields are described in the VCF header. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | As a tabular reference, common tags are as follows: |
| 8 | |
| 9 | FILTER field (typically generated by vcf-annotate): |
| 10 | |
| 11 | ||'''Tag''' || '''Description''' || '''Default threshold''' || |
| 12 | ||BaseQualBias || Min P-value for baseQ bias || 0 || |
| 13 | ||EndDistBias || Min P-value for end distance bias || 0.0001 || |
| 14 | ||GapWin || Window size for filtering adjacent gaps || 3 || |
| 15 | ||MapQualBias || Min P-value for mapQ bias || 0 || |
| 16 | ||MaxDP || Maximum read depth || 10000000 || |
| 17 | ||MinAB || Minimum number of alternate bases || 2 || |
| 18 | ||MinDP || Minimum read depth || 2 || |
| 19 | ||MinMQ || Minimum RMS mapping quality for SNPs || 10 || |
| 20 | ||Qual || Minimum value of the QUAL field || 10 || |
| 21 | ||RefN || Reference base is N || [] || |
| 22 | ||SnpGap || SNP within INT bp around a gap to be filtered || 10 || |
| 23 | ||StrandBias || Min P-value for strand bias || 0.0001 || |
| 24 | ||VDB || Minimum Variant Distance Bias || 0 || |
