bioinfochrustrasbourg/bcftools repository overview

Version: 1.8 (using htslib 1.8)

Usage: bcftools [--version|--version-only] [--help]

Commands:

-- Indexing index index VCF/BCF files

-- VCF/BCF manipulation annotate annotate and edit VCF/BCF files concat concatenate VCF/BCF files from the same set of samples convert convert VCF/BCF files to different formats and back isec intersections of VCF/BCF files merge merge VCF/BCF files files from non-overlapping sample sets norm left-align and normalize indels plugin user-defined plugins query transform VCF/BCF into user-defined formats reheader modify VCF/BCF header, change sample names sort sort VCF/BCF file view VCF/BCF conversion, view, subset and filter VCF/BCF files

-- VCF/BCF analysis call SNP/indel calling consensus create consensus sequence by applying VCF variants cnv HMM CNV calling csq call variation consequences filter filter VCF/BCF files using fixed thresholds gtcheck check sample concordance, detect sample swaps and contamination mpileup multi-way pileup producing genotype likelihoods roh identify runs of autozygosity (HMM) stats produce VCF/BCF stats

Most commands accept VCF, bgzipped VCF, and BCF with the file type detected automatically even when streaming from a pipe. Indexed VCF and BCF will work in all situations. Un-indexed VCF and BCF and streams will work in most but not all situations.
