Description : Variant Call Format (VCF) parser for Python
The Variant Call Format (VCF) specifies the format of a text file used
in bioinformatics for storing gene sequence variations. The format has
been developed with the advent of large-scale genotyping and DNA
sequencing projects, such as the 1000 Genomes Project.
.
The intent of this module is to mimic the ``csv`` module in the Python
stdlib, as opposed to more flexible serialization formats like JSON or
YAML. ``vcf`` will attempt to parse the content of each record based on
the data types specified in the meta-information lines -- specifically
the ##INFO and
##FORMAT lines. If these lines are missing or incomplete, it will check
against the reserved types mentioned in the spec. Failing that, it will
just return strings.
