VCF parsing #14

Open james-guevara opened 3 years ago

james-guevara commented 3 years ago

Should write a simple VCF parser for this package: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variant_Call_Format https://samtools.github.io/hts-specs/VCFv4.2.pdf

This has already been implemented with HTSlib (and its Nim wrapper https://github.com/brentp/hts-nim). But it'd be nice to have a pure Nim implementation.

Here are also hts-specs for Tabix index file format: https://samtools.github.io/hts-specs/tabix.pdf
