VCF: A Guide to Key File Formats for Sequencing Data
Variant Call Format (VCF) is an important file format that is specifically used for storing genetic variation data, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), small insertions or deletions (indels), and structural variations. These tab-delimited files contain useful information about the genomic location, reference allele, and alternate allele(s) for each variant. Due to their flexibility, VCF files are widely used in genomics research and are a key component in many genetic... -
