+VCFtools is a program package designed for working with VCF files,
+such as those generated by the 1000 Genomes Project. The aim of
+VCFtools is to provide methods for working with VCF files: validating,
+merging, comparing and calculate some basic population genetic
+statistics.
+
+VCFtools supports the VCF format v4.0. The vcf-validator, Perl API and
+scripts now support also VCF format v4.2 and maintain backward
+compatibility with older versions.
+
+If you make use of VCFtools in your research, the authors would
+appreciate a citation of the following paper:
+
+The Variant Call Format and VCFtools,
