Hi,
it seems GATK does not relaize that it has opened a vcf.gz (actually vcf.bgz file).

Answers
The format decoding is based on the extension, so if you have the wrong extension it's going to do the wrong thing.
Hi Geraldine, what do you mean? GATK and picard can read, actually require bgzipped files. I do not know why most people use .vcf.gz instead of .vcf.bgz, it is confusing. However, 'picard.jar index blah.vcf.gz' works while 'picard.jar index blah.vcf.bgz' does not. That is why I use .vcf.gz with GATK, and assuming that while the code base is shared it will work as well. Anyway, BGZF files can be decompresswed with gzip. What am I missing? That just the file extension is not recognized? Well, that is why I reported it. ;-)
Good point, I did not have Mills_and_1000G_gold_standard.indels.b37.vcf.gz.tbi.
I had only indexes from picard's index:
Mills_and_1000G_gold_standard.indels.b37.vcf.gz.idx
Mills_and_1000G_gold_standard.indels.b37.vcf.idx
and the flatfile:
Mills_and_1000G_gold_standard.indels.b37.vcf
Hi @Geraldine_VdAuwera ,
I have same exact WARNING message that @mmokrejs got for tool RealignerTargetCreator in GATK 3.7.
I made sure that I have the proper tabix version 1.4 index file(vcf.gz.tbi) at the same location as where the original file(bgzipped.vcf.gz) is located, and I do not understand why I got this WARN message ?
What other index files or dictionaries do I need, inorder to make GATK happy ?
I am using OpenJDK1.8, and does Oracle Java 1.8 would make any difference here ?
Following are the -known files that I have for Mills Indels :

@mglclinical
Hi,
Those WARN statements are nothing to worry about. Your run finished without an error. The WARNING statements are telling you the VCF does not have sequence information in the header. In that case, the tool won't check the VCF header sequence lines against the FASTA .dict file. As long as you are sure you are using the correct reference and VCF, you are good to go.
-Sheila
Thank you @Sheila for letting me know that I don't need to worry about those warnings
Hi @Sheila ,
I have got other WARN statements for HaplotypeCaller. Can I just ignore the following as well ?
WARN 07:19:17,107 InbreedingCoeff - Annotation will not be calculated. InbreedingCoeff requires at least 10 unrelated samples.
WARN 07:19:25,890 HaplotypeScore - Annotation will not be calculated, must be called from UnifiedGenotyper, not org.broadinstitute.gatk.tools.walkers.haplotypecaller.HaplotypeCaller

WARN 07:22:22,642 AnnotationUtils - Annotation will not be calculated, genotype is not called
Thanks,
mglclinical
@mglclinical
Hi mglclinical,
Yes, you can ignore those as well. They are either telling you annotations cannot be calculated (for reasons why, check out the annotation documentation) or that there are more than the default number of alternate alleles allowed at a site. You can change the default value with
--max_alternate_alleles.-Sheila
Thank you so much @Sheila
jDear all
I have generated Mills_and_1000G_gold_standard.indels.hg38.vcf.gz.tbi
with tabix
when running RealignerTargetCreator should indicate the tbi file among the inputs?
is it correct to us use -known Mills_and_1000G_gold_standard.indels.hg38.vcf or should I use
-known Mills_and_1000G_gold_standard.indels.hg38.vcf,gz
java-new -jar ../GenomeAnalysisTK.jar -T RealignerTargetCreator -R Homo_sapiens_assembly38.fasta -I unodedupsorted474_1_riccio-161221_GAATCTGA.bam -known Mills_and_1000G_gold_standard.indels.hg38.vcf -o unotarget_intervals.list &
thank you

@vittoria
Hi Vittoria,
I am not sure I understand your question. Are you asking if you can use .gz files as input VCF files to GATK? You can indeed use .gz files in GATK, but you must make to sure to specify the exact name of the VCF file in your command. If you unzipped the .gz file, then use .vcf. If you are leaving the file zipped, use the .vcf.gz.
Note, you can also find the hg38 resource files on the cloud here.
