* Package name : bcftools Version : 1.2 Upstream Author : Petr Danecek, Shane McCarthy and John Marshall * URL : http://samtools.github.io/bcftools/ * License : GPL or MIT/X Programming Lang: C Description : utilities for genomic variant calling and manipulating VCF and BCF files BCFtools is a set of utilities that manipulate variant calls in the Variant Call Format (VCF) and its binary counterpart BCF. All commands work transparently with both VCFs and BCFs, both uncompressed and BGZF-compressed. Most commands accept VCF, bgzipped VCF and BCF with filetype 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. BCFtools is designed to work on a stream. It regards an input file "-" as the standard input (stdin) and outputs to the standard output (stdout). Several commands can thus be combined with Unix pipes. This package will be managed by the Debian Med team.
