VCF Files

VCF is a text file format that contains information about variants found at specific positions in a reference genome. The file format consists of metainformation lines, a header line, and then data lines. Each data line contains information about a single variant.

A detailed description of the VCF format is provided in the BaseSpace User Guide (part # 15044182).

The TruSeq Amplicon App generates a Variants Table with data pulled from the VCF files. You can search within the table, and export in CSV format. See Sample Analysis Reports.
