OutputsĪ VCF sorted (i) according to the dictionary and (ii) by coordinate. You can either directly specify the list of files by specifying INPUT multiple times, or provide a list in a file with name ending in ".list" to INPUT. Input files variant records must be sorted by their contig and position following the sequence dictionary provided or the header contig list.Input file headers must be contain compatible declarations for common annotations (INFO, FORMAT fields) and filters.If there are samples, those must be the same across all input files.The input variant data must adhere to the following rules: dict) if the input VCF does not contain a complete contig list and if the output index is to be created (true by default). ending in ".vcf.gz", or binary compressed, i.e. One or more input file in VCF format (can be gzipped, i.e.Combines multiple variant files into a single variant file.
