VCFUNIQ(1)

💖 VCFUNIQ 💖

okay bestie, welcome to vcfuniq(1) — a lil vcflib filter from the vcfuniq (VCF filter) manual, and no, it is NOT that deep, but it IS useful, so let's go 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

vcfuniq — that's the whole name, that's the whole vibe 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

vcfuniq

literally just run it. no flags, no drama, no arguments. it's giving minimalism 👑

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so vcfuniq lists unique genotypes. it's like GNU uniq but make it VCF 🧬✨

here's the tea: vcfuniq removes records that have the same position, ref, and alt as the previous record — and this only works on a sorted VCF file, so sort that thing first bestie, don't come crying to me 😭

⚠️ important: it does not adjust or combine the genotypes in the output. it simply takes the first record. that's it. that's the whole job. it does not merge, it does not blend, it does not remix 💀

if you actually want to combine records, go see vcfcreatemulti — that's the one doing the combining, not this diva 💜
