cyvcf2: fast, flexible variant analysis with Python
Brent S. Pedersen; Aaron R. Quinlan
Motivation: Variant call format (VCF) files document the genetic variation observed after DNA sequencing, alignment and variant calling of a sample cohort. Given the complexity of the VCF format as well as the diverse variant annotations and genotype metadata, there is a need for fast, flexible methods enabling intuitive analysis of the variant data within VCF and BCF files.
Results: We introduce cyvcf2, a Python library and software package for fast parsing and querying of VCF and BCF files and illustrate its speed, simplicity and utility.
