NCBI and NIAID recently completed a successful codeathon focusing on methods for computing on the scale of millions of records using VCF files as inputs, with SARS-CoV-2 VCFs serving as a case study. This event brought together experts on viral evolution, molecular epidemiology, and population genomics who worked on a variety of projects.
