GT value in VCF files of a haplotype species.

Hi, I'm now working on calling variants from Chlamydomonas, Cuz' Chlamydomonas is a haplotype species, so what's the meaning of GT in VCF files? Can I regard 0/0 as homozygote? Thanks!

Thanks for you reply. But Chlamydomonas is a haplotype species, so I'm wondering what if I got 1/1, what's the meaning of the result? Does it mean the both of chains of DNA are changed?

do you mean haploid ?

so it's more a problem with your variant caller than with the vcf format itself.
