vcflib index
vcflib contains tools and libraries for dealing with the Variant Call Format
(VCF) which is a flat-file, tab-delimited textual format intended to 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.
