VCF Input Engine

This process imports VCF (variant call format) version 4.0 or 4.1 files¹ into (tall) SAS data sets, with a separate output data set per chromosome if there are more than one million loci in a file. Additional wide SAS data sets can be requested.

What do I need?

You must specify one or more VCF files, which must all be located in the same folder.

For example, the trio.ychr.vcf file, found in the LifeSciences\Sample Data\Genetics\ folder, can be specified. It is shown below.

For detailed information about the files and data sets used or created by JMP Life Sciences software, see Files and Data Sets.

Output/Results

The output data sets generated by this process are listed in a Results window. Refer to the VCF Input Engine output documentation for detailed descriptions.
