Output Type
-----------

Output compressed BCF (b), or uncompressed VCF (v).
Use the BCF option when piping between bcftools subcommands to speed up
performance by removing unecessary compression/decompression
and VCF<->BCF conversion.

This Galaxy tool recommends using the compressed BCF format
as piping is not implemented, and uncompressed data would
use unnecessary amounts of space.

Region Selections
-----------------

Regions can be specified in a VCF,
BED, or tab-delimited file (the default). The columns of the
tab-delimited file are: CHROM, POS, and, optionally, POS_TO,
where positions are 1-based and inclusive. Uncompressed
files are stored in memory, while bgzip-compressed and
tabix-indexed region files are streamed. Note that sequence
names must match exactly, "chr20" is not the same as "20".
Also note that chromosome ordering in FILE will be
respected, the VCF will be processed in the order in which
chromosomes first appear in FILE. However, within
chromosomes, the VCF will always be processed in ascending
genomic coordinate order no matter what order they appear in
FILE. Note that overlapping regions in FILE can result in
duplicated out of order positions in the output. This option
requires indexed VCF/BCF files.
  ]]></token>
  <token name="@TARGETS_HELP@"><![CDATA[
Targets
-------

Similar to regions, but the next position is accessed by streaming the whole
VCF/BCF rather than using the tbi/csi index. Both regions and targets options can be
applied simultaneously: regions uses the index to jump to a region and targets discards
positions which are not in the targets. Unlike regions, targets can be prefixed with
"^" to request logical complement. For example, "^X,Y,MT" indicates that
sequences X, Y and MT should be skipped. Yet another difference between the two
is that regions checks both start and end positions of indels, whereas targets checks
start positions only.

For the bcftools call command, with the option -C alleles, third column of the
targets file must be comma-separated list of alleles, starting with the
reference allele. Note that the file must be compressed and index. Such a file
can be easily created from a VCF using::

    bcftools query -f'%CHROM\t%POS\t%REF,%ALT\n' file.vcf | bgzip -c > als.tsv.gz && tabix -s1 -b2 -e2 als.tsv.gz

Collapse
--------

Controls how to treat records with duplicate positions and defines compatible
records across multiple input files. Here by "compatible" we mean records which
should be considered as identical by the tools. For example, when performing
line intersections, the desire may be to consider as identical all sites with
matching positions (bcftools isec -c all), or only sites with matching variant
type (bcftools isec -c snps  -c indels), or only sites with all alleles
identical (bcftools isec -c none).

Expressions
-----------

Valid expressions may contain:

-  numerical constants, string constants

   ::

      1, 1.0, 1e-4
      "String"

-  arithmetic operators

   ::

      +,*,-,/

-  comparison operators

   ::

      == (same as =), >, >=, <=, <, !=

-  regex operators "~" and its negation "!~"

   ::

      INFO/HAYSTACK ~ "needle"

-  parentheses

   ::

      (, )

-  logical operators

   ::

      && (same as &), ||,  |

-  INFO tags, FORMAT tags, column names

   ::

      INFO/DP or DP
      FORMAT/DV, FMT/DV, or DV
      FILTER, QUAL, ID, REF, ALT[0]

-  1 (or 0) to test the presence (or absence) of a flag

   ::

      FlagA=1 && FlagB=0

-  "." to test missing values

   ::

      DP=".", DP!=".", ALT="."

-  missing genotypes can be matched regardless of phase and ploidy (".|.", "./.", ".") using this expression

   ::

      GT="."

-  TYPE for variant type in REF,ALT columns (indel,snp,mnp,ref,other)

   ::

      TYPE="indel" | TYPE="snp"

-  array subscripts, "*" for any field

   ::

      (DP4[0]+DP4[1])/(DP4[2]+DP4[3]) > 0.3
      DP4[*] == 0
      CSQ[*] ~ "missense_variant.*deleterious"

-  function on FORMAT tags (over samples) and INFO tags (over vector fields)

   ::

      MAX, MIN, AVG, SUM, STRLEN, ABS

-  variables calculated on the fly if not present: number of alternate alleles; number of samples; count of alternate alleles; minor allele count (similar to AC but is always smaller than 0.5); frequency of alternate alleles (AF=AC/AN); frequency of minor alleles (MAF=MAC/AN); number of alleles in called genotypes

   ::

      N_ALT, N_SAMPLES, AC, MAC, AF, MAF, AN

**Notes:**

-  String comparisons and regular expressions are case-insensitive
-  If the subscript "*" is used in regular expression search, the whole field
   is treated as one string. For example, the regex ``STR[*]~"B,C"`` will be
   true for the string vector INFO/STR=AB,CD.
-  Variables and function names are case-insensitive, but not tag names. For
   example, "qual" can be used instead of "QUAL", "strlen()" instead of
   "STRLEN()" , but not "dp" instead of "DP".

**Examples:**

   ::

      MIN(DV)>5
      MIN(DV/DP)>0.3
      MIN(DP)>10 & MIN(DV)>3
      FMT/DP>10  & FMT/GQ>10 .. both conditions must be satisfied within one sample
      FMT/DP>10 && FMT/GQ>10 .. the conditions can be satisfied in different samples
      QUAL>10 |  FMT/GQ>10   .. selects only GQ>10 samples
      QUAL>10 || FMT/GQ>10   .. selects all samples at QUAL>10 sites
      TYPE="snp" && QUAL>=10 && (DP4[2]+DP4[3] > 2)
      MIN(DP)>35 && AVG(GQ)>50
      ID=@file       .. selects lines with ID present in the file
      ID!=@~/file    .. skip lines with ID present in the ~/file
      MAF[0]<0.05    .. select rare variants at 5% cutoff
