VCF Zarr is designed to enable efficient, scalable storage\nand analysis of large-scale genetic variation data.\n\nFor details on the design rationale, performance characteristics, and efficiency gains when processing\nlarge cohorts, see the published paper in *GigaScience*:\n\n\u003e **Analysis-ready VCF at Biobank scale using Zarr**  \n\u003e GigaScience, 2025.  \n\u003e https://doi.org/10.1093/gigascience/giaf049\n\nThe original preprint is also available on bioRxiv:  \nhttps://doi.org/10.1101/2024.06.11.598241\n\nTo convert a VCF file to VCF Zarr, see\n[vcf2zarr](https://sgkit-dev.github.io/bio2zarr/vcf2zarr/overview.html).\n\nTo validate VCF Zarr stores comply with this specification, see [vcz-validator](https://github.com/tomwhite/vcz-validator).\n\nAn implementation of this specification can be found in\n[sgkit](https://pystatgen.github.io/sgkit/).\n\nVCF Zarr is currently a draft specification, and we welcome input from a wide range of use cases\nand perspectives. If you identify a specific issue with the specification (for example, unclear or\nunderspecified details), please open an\n[issue](https://github.com/sgkit-dev/vcf-zarr-spec/issues).\nFor more open-ended discussion, please start a new thread on our\n[discussions board](https://github.com/sgkit-dev/vcf-zarr-spec/discussions).\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsgkit-dev%2Fvcf-zarr-spec","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fsgkit-dev%2Fvcf-zarr-spec","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsgkit-dev%2Fvcf-zarr-spec/lists"}
