VEP issue: ERROR: Cache assembly version (GRCh37) and database or selected assembly version (GRCh38) do not match

Describe the issue

VEP give errors even my query and reference has same assembly version

Command :$: ./vep -i examples/homo_sapiens_GRCh37.vcf –cache –refseq

cache reference details while running install.pl
? 458
NB: Remember to use –refseq when running the VEP with this cache!

  • downloading ftp.ensembl.org/pub/release-104/variation/indexed_vep_cache/homo_sapiens_refseq_vep_104_GRCh37.tar.gz
  • unpacking homo_sapiens_refseq_vep_104_GRCh37.tar.gz
  • converting cache, this may take some time but will allow VEP to look up variants and frequency data much faster
  • use CTRL-C to cancel if you do not wish to convert this cache now (you may run convert_cache.pl later)
