The aim of +VCFtools is to provide methods for working with VCF files: validating, +merging, comparing and calculate some basic population genetic +statistics. + +VCFtools supports the VCF format v4.0. The vcf-validator, Perl API and +scripts now support also VCF format v4.2 and maintain backward +compatibility with older versions. + +If you make use of VCFtools in your research, the authors would +appreciate a citation of the following paper: + +The Variant Call Format and VCFtools, +Petr Danecek, Adam Auton, Goncalo Abecasis, Cornelis A.
