[BioC] VariantAnnotation - MatrixToSnpMatrix - only returns NAs

Hi Valerie,

Thank you for your reply.  I'll investigate the development branch option.
I did see the warnings however I find it hard to believe that these should apply to every single entry in my VCF.
With regards,

Hi Lavinia,

If you can use the development branch MatrixToSnpMatrix() has been replaced by genotypeToSnpMatrix(). This is much more full featured and robust function. However if you are using the release branch you still need to work with MatrixToSnpMatrix(). If this is the case, please read the man page at

?MatrixToSnpMatrix

This page outlines the cases for which the values will be NA.  You should be seeing warnings such as 'only diploid calls are included', 'only single nucleotide variants are included' or 'variants with >1 ALT allele are set to NA'. If you are not seeing such warnings, please send me a small sample of your VCF so I can reproduce this problem.
