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
