VCF input file

plotVCF is designed to work on VCF files. This is a specific format of file that currently represents the standard for storing gene sequence variations. You can find a lot of online documentation about how a VCF file should be formatted (header, body, etc.)

Please ensure that the VCF file you want to run plotVCF on is consistent with standard VCF format requirements. Otherwise, the software will likely to fail 😢

You can use both .vcf and bgzipped .vcf.gz files, plotVCF handles both!
