You should use <code>http:\/\/<\/code> when specifying the remote repository address, not <code>ftp:\/\/<\/code> so that tabix can download through the University proxy server (Incline does not have direct access to the outside world &#8211; off-campus servers). For example:<\/p>\n<pre>\r\ntabix -fh http:\/\/ftp.1000genomes.ebi.ac.uk\/somepath\/blah.genotypes.vcf.gz \\\r\n        1:14720000-15600000 | gzip -c > data.vcf.gz\r\n<\/pre>\n<p>Notice that in the above command we pipe the downloaded data (which is plain text data) through the gzip command to produce a compressed file named <code>data.vcf.gz<\/code>. Text data usually compresses well and so this method will save you a lot of disk space.<\/p>\n<p>To view the contents of the compressed file (without needing to first incompress it) use the following command to page through it:<\/p>\n<pre>\r\nzless data.vcf.gz\r\n<\/pre>\n<h2>Further info<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/samtools.sourceforge.net\/tabix.shtml\">tabix manpage<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Updates<\/h2>\n<p>None.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overview Tabix is a generic indexer for TAB-delimited genome position files.
