Hi all, Does VariantAnnotation currently have a method to merge VCF objects? I've been looking through the documentation and code and haven't found anything like this. If not, I think it would be a useful feature to add. My use case: I have two VCF files, with the same samples (but in different order in each file). The two files have non-overlapping variants. I would love to have an rbind(VCF, VCF) method; then I could do something like: vcf2 <- vcf2[,colnames(vcf1)] vcf <- rbind(vcf1, vcf2) cbind() would also be useful, for combining files with the same variants but different samples. thanks, Stephanie

Good suggestion. I'll implement something in the next couple of weeks. Valerie On 01/11/2013 02:22 PM, Stephanie M.
