Hi all, I am trying to get bi-allelic snps from my vcf file. I have a combined vcf file for 8 samples having tetraploid genomes. For getting bi-allelic markers I am using following command. bcftools view -m2 -M2 -v snps input.vcf.gz

After filtering I am getting some weird marker entries as well such as,

These variants have high quality scores compared to simple A/T and C/G variants. My questions are i) Are the aforementioned variants are bi-allelic and bcf-tools does filtering for bi-allelic variants as well?
