BCFtools (experimental)

This BCFtools repository is for experimental features. You are welcome to use it, but note, it's experimental! Tagged releases should be as stable as the releases in the main samtools/bcftools repository.
The list of new features in this repository includes new commands (mpileup, cnv, polysomy), plugins (+color-chrs, mendelian), bug fixes, and funtionality (new command line switches, gVCF calling, ...).

Download and compiling

The main releases can be downloaded from www.htslib.org.

Stable experimental releases are available here.

The most up to date development version can be obtained from github using these commands:

git clone --branch=develop --recursive git://github.com/pd3/bcftools.git
cd bcftools; make

The clone command above is used to create a local copy of the remote repository and needs to be run only once. Whenever the latest snapshot from github is needed, use instead the pull command:

cd bcftools
git pull && git submodule update --recursive
make clean && make
