Lift-over a VCF file
This program is now part of the main jvarkit
tool. See jvarkit for compiling.
Usage: java -jar dist/jvarkit.jar vcfliftover [options] Files
Usage: vcfliftover [options] Files
Options:
--adaptivematch
Use adapative liftover minmatch using the ratio between the min allele
size and the longest allele size
Default: false
--bcf-output
If this program writes a VCF to a file, The format is first guessed from

* -f, --chain
LiftOver chain file. Can be a local chain file, a URL 'https://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/goldenpath/hg19/liftOver/hg19ToCriGri1.over.chain.gz',
or a chain identifier like 'hg19ToHg38'.
-check, --check
Check variant allele sequence is the same on REF
Default: false
-x, --failed
(file.vcf) write variants failing the liftOver here. Optional.
-failtag, --failtag
failed INFO tag
Default: LIFTOVER_FAILED
--generate-vcf-md5

Ignore LiftOver chain validation
Default: false
--indel, --indels

Default: 0.95
-o, --out
Output file. Optional . Default: stdout
