MAF is a TSV format with a single line header, and possible leading comment lines designated with "#"
It differs from VCF in that it reports a single mutation per line rather than a single site. It also reports INDEL sites differently than VCF, so it's not an entirely trivial stacking operation to convert one to another.
It would be convenient if Gamgee had native support for MAF formats.
