Research direction

Start by reproducing the supplied VCF record with bcftools and reviewing how existing genotype and VCF handling treats the GT:AD fields. Done means determining whether the QIAGEN reference-overlap representation is supported and, if not, defining the required translation behavior.

Description

enhancement needs-feedback

Dear Samtools team, do you support VCFs exported from QIAGEN CLC genomics workbench? QIAGEN CLC genomics workbench is able to represent complex overlapping variants in recommended reference overlap format (https://resources.qiagenbioinformatics.com/manuals/clcgenomicsworkbench/1203/index.php?manual=Complex_variant_representations_VCF_reference_overlap.html#fig:vcfoption)

The format is helpful for representing complex regions of the human genome. However, I can't seem to find a function that interprets this VCF format. So I am wondering if it's currently supported or will be supported in the future?

For example, for the first Reference overlap and depth estimate VCF entry in their Figure 6.32

#CHROM	POS	ID	REF	ALT	QUAL	FILTER	INFO	FORMAT	testsample
1	4	.	GG	TT	200.00	.	.	GT:AD:DP	0/0/1:6,4:10

Can bcftools translate the GT:AD to specific genotype calls?

Thanks
