    Hi Jacob Wang,

    Thank you for writing to the GATK forum! I hope that we can help you sort this out.

    If you can find a VCF for your sample within a line, you can use it. We have a tool, LiftoverVcf (Picard), that will allow you to “lift over” a VCF from one genome build to another; this assumes you have the proper chain file.

    I hope this helps! Please let me know if this leads you to success. If any other questions arise, please do not hesitate to reach out.

    Best,
    Anthony

    Hello, I have a follow up question on it:

    Suppose, I have already aligned my FASTQ files and used MD, BQSR, ApplyBQSR and Haplotypecaller to generate VCF with GRCh38 through GCP sites resources.

    If I want to benchmark my dataset with CHM13 instead of GRCh38 to see the differences, Do I need to just use LiftoverVcf (Picard), with my old GRCh38 generated VCF to get another new VCF for CHM13 variants? Right? Can you please explain what other steps should I follow to benchmark GATK with both GRCh38 and CHM13? Thanks.

    Hi Tanveer Ahmad,

    You can either lift your vcf over using LiftoverVcf, or reprocess your data using the T2T reference instead of hg38.
