SVTYPE is Deprecated in Variant Call Format Specification

DarioS opened this issue · 3 comments

GRIDSS uses SVTYPE=BND representation e.g. COLO829v003T.purple.sv.vcf. It is deprecated since Variant Call Format version 4.4.

It is. It was deprecated as it's redundant as the relevant information is already in the ALT field. GRIDSS will continue to write SVTYPE=BND to retain compatibility with tools that have not yet been updated to handle VCF4.4

I thought GRIDSS wasn't yet 4.4-compliant. Should ##fileformat=VCFv4.2 be ##fileformat=VCFv4.4 in the header section?
