✨ VCFENTROPY(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to vcfentropy, a lil tool from the vcfentropy family of VCF metrics 🎀

---

💖 NAME 💖

vcfentropy — she annotates your VCF with entropy, and she does it flawlessly 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

vcfentropy options

like… that's it. that's the whole synopsis. options. slay. ✨

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: this tool annotates VCF records with the Shannon entropy of flanking sequence 🧬✨

it annotates the output VCF file with, for each record:

• EntropyLeft
• EntropyRight
• EntropyCenter

which are, no cap, the entropies of the sequence of the given window size to the left, right, and center of the record 📏

and it also adds EntropyRef and EntropyAlt for each alt 👑 because of course it does, she's thorough.

---

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

here's the whole menu, not me gatekeeping anything 🙈

• -f, --fasta-reference — the FASTA reference file you use to obtain flanking sequences 🧬 lowkey essential
• -w, --window-size — the size of the window over which to calculate entropy 📐

Type: metrics — that's the category, iykyk ✨

💀 EXIT VALUES 💀

• 0 — Success 🎉 she ate
• not 0 — Failure 😭 something went wrong bestie
