Change ID of input vcf for ID of another vcf

[Joel Lafond Lapalme]

Hi,

Is it possible with vcfanno to change the ID of the input vcf for the ID from another vcf like dbsnp ? 

Thank you

Joël

Yes, see this block of annotation: https://github.com/brentp/vcfanno#postannotation

and there is also an example in the gnomad example: https://github.com/brentp/vcfanno/blob/master/example/gnomad.conf#L102

note that you annotate the INFO using "ID" first and then you set the ID in a [[postannotation]] block. You can also use the setid() lua function here: https://github.com/brentp/vcfanno/blob/master/example/custom.lua#L128

I plan to make this so you don't need lua, but for now, this works.

let me know if you have any questions.
