Prioritization of ID in merged VCF #155

Open pblaney opened 2 years ago

pblaney commented 2 years ago

Hello Fritz,

I'm very grateful to use SURVIVOR in a project I am working on and was wondering if you could expand on a question I had. What is the behavior of SURVIVOR merge regarding the ID column when the variant is supported by multiple input VCFs with individually unique ID columns? Is there a specific criteria that causes one ID to be chosen for the output VCF?

Best, Patrick
