vcf-compare

VCF-COMPARE(1)							   User Commands						    VCF-COMPARE(1)

NAME

       vcf-compare - compare bgzipped and tabix indexed VCF files

SYNOPSIS

       compare-vcf [OPTIONS] file1.vcf file2.vcf ...

DESCRIPTION

       About: Compare bgzipped and tabix indexed VCF files. (E.g. bgzip file.vcf; tabix -p vcf file.vcf.gz)

OPTIONS

       -c, --chromosomes <list|file>
	      Same as -r, left for backward compatibility. Please do not use as it will be dropped in the future.

       -d, --debug
	      Debugging information. Giving the option multiple times increases verbosity

       -H, --cmp-haplotypes
	      Compare haplotypes, not only positions

       -m, --name-mapping <list|file>
	      Use  with -H when comparing files with differing column names. The argument to this options is a comma-separated list or one mapping
	      per line in a file. The names are colon separated and must appear in the same order as the files on the command line.

       -R, --refseq <file>
	      Compare the actual sequence, not just positions. Use with -w to compare indels.

       -r, --regions <list|file>
	      Process the given regions (comma-separated list or one region per line in a file).

       -s, --samples <list>
	      Process only the listed samples. Excluding unwanted samples may increase performance considerably.

       -w, --win <int>
	      In repetitive sequences, the same indel can be called at different positions. Consider records this far apart as matching (be  it  a
	      SNP or an indel).

       -h, -?, --help
	      This help message.
