See also biostars discussion (https://www.biostars.org/p/9529677/), where, in absence of ability of SnpSift to revise field name upon annotation, the suggestion is to use bcftools annotate --rename-annot to rename the field AF before/after snpSift:
AF->old_AF (snpsift) AF->gnomad_AF old_AF->AF
Thank you for SnpSift, what a powerful useful program! I'm new to SnpSift, and have a basic question - the VCF file I'm starting with already has an INFO.AF field. I want to annotate the VCF file with gnomAD data, particularly gnomAD's INFO.AF field. It looks like the default behavior is to overide INFO.AF where there is a match to gnomAD - leaving me with a mix of INFO.AF fields. Do I need to remove the existing INFO.AF fields first, or is there a way to rename the gnomAD annotation as I pull it in? Thanks.
This is the command I'm running:
java -jar SnpSift.jar annotate gnomad.exomes.r2.1.1.sites.liftover_grch38.vcf.bgz -info "AF" myVCF.vcf > myAnnotatedVCF.vcf
