Successful NCBI-NIAID Codeathon Explored VCF Files in Population Genomics
Variant Call Format (VCF) files provide a crucial way to record and share information about genetic variants across samples. NCBI joined forces with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) to co-host the VCF Files for Population Genomics Codeathon (July 31 – August 4). The codeathon focused on innovative methods for harnessing VCF … Continue reading Successful NCBI-NIAID Codeathon Explored VCF Files in Population Genomics
