What is UKB_3711358_302261298 in Example WES variant call file?

Ashwin Lakshman Koppayi

Hi,

 I was looking at the example variant call file in Showcase https://biobank.ndph.ox.ac.uk/showcase/refer.cgi?id=23141 .

The header of this VCF looks like this - 
#CHROM  POS     ID      REF     ALT     QUAL    FILTER  INFO    FORMAT  UKB_3711358_302261298

What does “UKB_3711358_302261298” mean in the VCF file is it from a single sample or multiple sample?

 

Regards,

Ashwin

    Hi Ashwin,

    This VCF and the VCFs in field 23141 are from single samples. 

    Multi-sample VCFs are labelled as “population VCFs” in the field title on UK Biobank (ie field 23157).

    Note: the participant eid will match the filename of the individual VCF.

    Hope this is helpful.

    George
