gdtools ANNOTATE/COMPARE
can output a GD file that contains the frequencies of each mutation across multiple samples in accessory fields named: frequency_<sample>
. This is used "under the hood" to generate the HTML comparison tables that have different columns for different samples.
Are you asking whether this GD file could then be converted into a VCF file that contains mutation information about many samples? Currently gdtools GD2VCF
doesn't support this, but we could add that ability.
Yes, exactly this would be useful for downstream analysis.
This is a feature request or, alternatively, a request for advice.
The ability of breseq to compare different samples in an HTML file is super useful. I am wondering how to use that information for downstream analysis, e.g., merging the results from multiple samples into one VCF file. Would that be an option that could be added to gdtools?
