    Java libaray/API for VCF file

    Hi all,

    Is there a Java library for VCF files as Picard is for SAM/BAM files?

    A quick google search didn't turn anything up.

      Unfortunately they are all not Java. GATK is Java, but GATK has some complexities I'm trying to avoid. I'm actually building a version similar to Picard, or at least shares the same infrastructure.

        Perhaps you could talk to the Picard developers to see if they would want to add this support?

          Love this - good data definitely starts from good input, and poor input can only give relatively poor data. I particularly like the mention of Nanodrop/absorbance based methods for quantification. It's such a toss up if you'll get an accurate reading or what amounts to a randomly generated number, and a lot of library/sequencing related issues can be traced back to poor quant.

          Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
          by SEQadmin2


          I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

          Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...
