[Gmod-gbrowse] GBrowse input question

[Scott Cain]

I didn't realize this come through the GBrowse mailing list; I'm cc'ing it
to there as well, since it's likely that someone else will have more info
to share.

Hi Branden,
No, GBrowse doesn't natively support VCF files. Your best bet for
visualizing them would be to convert them to GVF, which is a variant format
http://www.sequenceontology.org/resources/gvf.html
I don't know of any tools for converting between VCF and GVF though;
perhaps Barry Moore does (cc'ed here).
On the other hand, JBrowse does support VCF natively, but I realize that
likely doesn't help at the moment.

Hi,
I was wondering if GBrowse could visualize VCF files?
Thanks,
Branden
