Imputation QC
Extract INFO Scores
# Beagle DR2 (dosage R-squared)
bcftools query -f '%CHROM\t%POS\t%ID\t%REF\t%ALT\t%INFO/DR2\t%INFO/AF\n' \
imputed.vcf.gz > info_scores.txt
# Minimac R2
bcftools query -f '%CHROM\t%POS\t%ID\t%REF\t%ALT\t%INFO/R2\t%INFO/MAF\n' \
imputed.vcf.gz > info_scores.txt
# IMPUTE info
bcftools query -f '%CHROM\t%POS\t%ID\t%INFO\n' imputed.vcf.gz > info_scores.txt
Filter by INFO Score
# Standard threshold for GWAS
bcftools view -i 'INFO/DR2 > 0.3' imputed.vcf.gz -Oz -o imputed_r2_03.vcf.gz
# Strict threshold for fine-mapping
bcftools view -i 'INFO/DR2 > 0.8' imputed.vcf.gz -Oz -o imputed_r2_08.vcf.gz
# Combined filtering
bcftools view -i 'INFO/DR2 > 0.3 && INFO/AF > 0.01 && INFO/AF < 0.99' \
imputed.vcf.gz -Oz -o imputed_filtered.vcf.gz

Check Concordance with Typed Variants
