vcf

     vcf -- Used to import VCF (Variant Caller Format)
            Files into Stata and format genotype data.

     This program does 2 challenging things:

     (1) Splits the INFO column (delimited by ;) into
     seperate columns. It also pulls out variable
     descriptions and assigns them as variable labels.

     (2) Recodes genotypic data, showing the genotypes of
     each individual.

     Important! This is a new release, as such it is still
     undergoing development. Please report any
     issues/errors/comments/suggests (email above).


Syntax

     vcf using "path/to/file.vcf"

Limits

     (1) While it is possible to read in very large files -
     this program cannot handle enormous VCF Files. I have
     successfully loaded in files that are a few gigabytes.

     (2) If your VCF Files has more than 9 alternative
     alleles, this program will incorrectly assign alleles
     beyond the 9th alternative allele.
