Dear all,

I'm struggling in finding how to obtain information about COSMIC database after I annotate a vcf using VEP.
The command that I used is:

```
vep 	 -i Mutect2_unfiltered_10643_vs_2434.vcf.gz        
	 -o Mutect2_unfiltered_10643_vs_2434_VEP.ann.vcf        
	 --assembly GRCh38       
	 --species homo_sapiens                 									        
	 --offline  --cache  --cache_version 99        
	 --dir_cache /.vep  --everything  --filter_common        
	 --fork 4  --format vcf  --per_gene  --stats_file Mutect2_unfiltered_10643_vs_2434_VEP.summary.html        
	 --total_length  --vcf
```

I get back a vcf annotated file, but I'm not able to find any COSMIC information. Maybe there is a way to filter only for COSMIC?

Thank you in advance,  
Youssef
The COSMIC variants should appear listed as SOMATIC under the co-located variants. You may find that your `--filter_common` option is excluding some COSMIC variants. I would recommend running without this then using the [VEP filter tool](http://www.ensembl.org/info/docs/tools/vep/script/vep_filter.html) with `--filter "SOMATIC"` to find COSMIC variants.
