The Variant Call Format (VCF) is a flat-file, tab-delimited textual format | |||||
intended to concisely describe reference-indexed variations between | |||||
individuals. VCF provides a common interchange format for the description of | |||||
variation in individuals and populations of samples, and has become the defacto | |||||
standard reporting format for a wide array of genomic variant detectors. | |||||
vcflib provides methods to manipulate and interpret sequence variation as it | |||||
can be described by VCF. It is both: | |||||
an API for parsing and operating on records of genomic variation as it can | |||||
be described by the VCF format | |||||
and a collection of command-line utilities for executing complex | |||||
manipulations on VCF files. | |||||
The API itself provides a quick and extremely permissive method to read and | |||||
write VCF files. Extensions and applications of the library provided in the | |||||
included utilities (*.cpp) comprise the vast bulk of the library's utility for | |||||
most users. | |||||
