What Kind Of Analysis Can Do You With Vcf Files?

Question

[Sheila]

What kinds of analyses can be completed if you have SNP, indel, and SV data in vcf files? I just need a few very broad and generic examples.

VCF is just a file format, there are many tools to convert data from one format to another to carry out different analysis using different softwares. First there must be a question, then find tools to answer it.

It depends on the type of analysis you want. What kind of problem are you trying to address?

The VFCTOOLS will give you a first overview of some analysis/management with vcf files... As the vcf format is spreading, more and more softwares/packages are using this format.
