anno export

To export an annotation from the vdb, use biograph vdb anno export. This restores the file originally uploaded via vdb anno import.

Use the --aid or -a switch to specify the aid of the annotation you want to export. You can look up the aid for any sample using vdb anno list.

The default output is STDOUT. Use the --output or -o switch to write the VCF to a file.

$ vdb anno export --aid c8d42e04-80ae-415d-a848-2b162dcb7f86 -o ClinVar37.vcf.gz
$ ls -l
-rw-rw-r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu  33811832 May 27 14:46 ClinVar37.vcf.gz
