VCFs have an INFO column that contains many sub-categories, depending on the annotations available at the time of calling. Is there a method of sorting VCFs using the sub field info? This would seem like powerful use of the format. If you know of anything or want to do the coding yourself, let me know please!

I wrote a tool to sort a VCF on the INFO field https://github.com/lindenb/jvarkit/wiki/SortVCFOnInfo

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...Today, 06:46 AM -
Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
