Seg fault on large VCF

[fritzsedlazeck]

Hi,
i wanted to try this tool as it seems very promising. I have multiple hundred human samples with SNPs called and wanted to run emeraLD. However, within seconds I get a seg fault:

NOTE: genotype data appear to be unphased
reporting genotype LD rather than haplotype LD
use "--phased" option to override this behaviour
./run_LDanalysis.sh: line 14: 15620 Segmentation fault ~/mydir/programs/emeraLD/bin/emeraLD -i $reads --out output_chr22.txt --region chr22:10511578-20511578

were $reads is my bgziped and indexed VCF file. I also run into the same problem when I dont define a region.
Here is a short sample of the VCF file (without the header) and just the first two samples. As you can see they are not phased per sample.

Please let me what is going wrong as I would really like to run emeraLD on that data set.
Thanks
Fritz

Chances are you need to run make clean && make from the source directory. The executable checked into the bin directory is most likely dynamically linked to system libs.

Hi, Thanks for contacting us about this. I'm not sure if it's the only issue here, but unfortunately emeraLD does not currently support missing genotypes. Genotype imputation (e.g., using https://imputationserver.sph.umich.edu or https://genome.sph.umich.edu/wiki/Minimac3) is probably the best way to work around this for the time being. Thanks, Corbin

I think if you run with --no-phase it will work, but as Corbin says, the program will ignore missing genotypes, so you may want to do imputation or only include variants with a high call rate.

@corbinq - I think there's also a small bug in auto-detecting unphased VCFs, see 8d74f60. I'll send a PR if that looks okay to you.

Thanks everyone. I am traveling but will try that and Minimac4 for these files.
Thanks
Fritz

Ok I am sorry guys this is a very nooby question and its not necessarily related to emeraLD.

So I have this VCF file with just called SNPs of multiple hundred of human samples and I want to study LD over these samples. What is the way to go?
Or can you point me to a review/ paper/ summary/ instructions?
Thanks for your help
Fritz
