NAME

       QTLtools extract - Data extraction mode.

SYNOPSIS

       QTLtools extract [--vcf --bed --cov] relevant_file --out output_prefix [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       Extract  all  the  data from the provided files into one flat file.  This will also impute
       all the missing data.

OPTIONS

       --vcf [in.vcf|in.bcf|in.vcf.gz]
              Genotypes in VCF/BCF format.  At least one of --vcf --bed --cov is REQUIRED.

       --bed quantifications.bed.gz
              Molecular phenotype quantifications in BED format.  At least  one  of  --vcf  --bed
              --cov is REQUIRED.

       --cov covariates.txt
              Covariates data.  At least one of --vcf --bed --cov is REQUIRED.

       --out filename_prefix
              Output file name prefix.  REQUIRED.

       --region chr:start-end
              Genomic region to be processed.  E.g. chr4:12334456-16334456, or chr5.

OUTPUT FILES

       .content.txt.gz
        Flat file with samples in rows and all the extracted variables in columns.

       .header.txt
        Genomic locations of the extracted variables.

EXAMPLE

       o Extract genotypes, gene quantifications, and covariates from a certain region:

         QTLtools  extract  --vcf genotypes.chr22.vcf.gz --bed genes.50percent.chr22.bed.gz --cov
         genes.covariates.pc50.txt.gz --region chr22:17000000-18000000 --out extract_output

BUGS

       o Versions up to and including 1.2, suffer from a bug  in  reading  missing  genotypes  in
         VCF/BCF files.  This bug affects variants with a DS field in their genotype's FORMAT and
         have a missing genotype (DS field is .) in one of the samples, in which  case  genotypes
         for  all  the  samples  are  set  to missing, effectively removing this variant from the
         analyses.
