How can I view result of SNPs (called by samtools) as the output vcf file is very big and difficult to open? Any suggestions!

Well, if you want to view and inspect the VCF file directly, UNIX text viewing tools such as the 'less' command are good. If you want you can make things easier on the eye by for example first cutting out only those columns you are interested in for the moment (for example: cut -f 1,4,5,9 file.vcf | less).
Depending on what exactly you want to look at, you can also import the VCF file into a genome browser such as IGV and see the locations of the called SNPs displayed in a track along the genome.

Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
