What the error means

Part of the message What it usually means in plain English
line 2:8 no viable alternative at input 'ANN' The filter expression you gave to SnpSift cannot be parsed. At line 2, column 8 the parser saw the token ANN and didn’t know how to interpret it.
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space While trying to process the VCF, Java ran out of memory (the “heap” that stores objects). This is typically seen when the input VCF is large or when the filter expression forces SnpSift to keep a lot of data in memory.

Both problems are independent, but they happen together because the tool tries to read the whole file, fails to parse the expression, and then exhausts its default memory allocation.

it probably can be fixed, yes, but not based on an AI summary.
