SNPEFF(1) User Commands SNPEFF(1)

NAME

snpEff - genetic variant annotation and effect prediction toolbox

SYNOPSIS

snpEff [command] [options] [files]

AVAILABLE COMMANDS

[err|ann]
Annotate variants / calculate effects (you can use either 'ann' or 'eff', they mean the same). Default: ann (no command or 'ann').
Build a SnpEff database.
Build a SnpEff for NextProt (using NextProt's XML files).
Compare CDS sequences calculated from a SnpEff database to the one in a FASTA file. Used for checking databases correctness.
Annotate the closest genomic region.
Count how many intervals (from a BAM, BED or VCF file) overlap with each genomic interval.
Show currently available databases (from local config file).
Download a SnpEff database.
Dump to STDOUT a SnpEff database (mostly used for debugging).
Create a bed file from a genes list.
Calculate total genomic length for each marker type.
Build interaction database (based on PDB data).
Compare protein sequences calculated from a SnpEff database to the one in a FASTA file. Used for checking databases correctness.
Show sequence (from command line) translation.
Show a text representation of genes or transcripts coordinates, DNA sequence and protein sequence.
Create a translocations report (from VCF file).

OPTIONS

Generic options

Specify config file. Default: ~/.snpEff/snpEff.config
Override a config file option
Debug mode (very verbose).
Override data_dir parameter from config file.
Download a SnpEff database, if not available locally. Default: true
Do not download a SnpEff database, if not available locally.
Show this help and exit
Do not report usage statistics to server
Use multiple threads (implies '-noStats'). Default 'off'
Quiet mode (do not show any messages or errors)
Verbose mode
Show version number and exit

Database options

Only use canonical transcripts.
Only use canonical transcripts, replace some transcripts using the 'gene_id transcript_id' entries in <file>.
Annotate using interactions (requires interaction database). Default: true
Use a custom interval in TXT/BED/BigBed/VCF/GFF file (you may use this option many times)
Only use transcripts having Transcript Support Level lower than <TSL_number>.
Annotate using motifs (requires Motif database). Default: true
Annotate using NextProt (requires NextProt database).
Do not load any genomic database (e.g. annotate using custom files).
Disable IUB code expansion in input variants
Disable interaction annotations
Disable motif annotations.
Disable NextProt annotations.
Only use regulation tracks.
Only use protein coding transcripts. Default: false
Only use the transcripts in this file. Format: One transcript ID per line.
Regulation track to use (this option can be used add several times).
Set size for splice sites (donor and acceptor) in bases. Default: 2
Set size for splice site region within exons. Default: 3 bases

-spliceRegionIntronMin <int> Set minimum number of bases for splice site region within intron. Default: 3 bases

-spliceRegionIntronMax <int> Set maximum number of bases for splice site region within intron. Default: 8 bases

Only use 'validated' transcripts (i.e. sequence has been checked). Default: false

-ud , -upDownStreamLen <int> Set upstream downstream interval length (in bases)
