Hello everyone,

I'm studying the parameters of bcftools view and trying to understand them better, so I've done two tests, one with bcftools -c only and the other with bcftools -e only and compared them with bcftools stats (results bellow).

I've read on the manual that the -c option forces the -e option. My question is, if one forces another, the number of SNPs in common shouldn't be higher? I understand that there are many SNPs called only by the -e option, but shouldn't all the SNPs called by the -c option be present in the -e as well?

Does anyone know where could I find a good documentation about how the -c and -e options work?

Thanks in advance!
