does readVcf mistakenly ignore ploidy for missing genotypes?

Minimal reproducible example:

library(VariantAnnotation)
con <- url("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/timflutre/rutilstimflutre/master/inst/extdata/example.vcf")
vcf.txt <- readLines(con)
close(con)
vcf.file <- "example.vcf"
writeLines(vcf.txt, vcf.file)
vcf <- readVcf(vcf.file)
geno(vcf)$GT

which returns:

ind1 ind2 ind3
snp1   "0/0" "0/1" "1/1"
snp2   "0/1" "."   "."
indel1 "0/0" "0/1" "1/1"

However, "." should be "./.", as in the input file and in the VCF format specification. Or am I missing something?

Hi,

Yes, readVcf() does currently ignore ploidy - all missing values are represented with a single '.' dot. This is a good suggestion and we'll make the change. There are several things before this on the TODO but we'll get to it as soon as we can.

Valerie
