8.3 Variant Call Format (VCF)

Our genotype data is stored in a Variant Call Format (VCF) file. VCF files contain genotype data for variants of interest in a genome.

Click on genotypes_subset.vcf in the Posit Files pane to view it. This file is a subset of a much larger VCF that we’ll use later to run a genome-wide GWAS.
