Before you start

VCFs aren't always created with a strong adherence to the format's specification.

Truvari expects input VCFs to be valid so that it will only output valid VCFs.

We've developed a separate tool that runs multiple validation programs and standard VCF parsing libraries in order to validate a VCF.

Run this program over any VCFs that are giving Truvari trouble.

Furthermore, Truvari expects 'resolved' SVs (e.g. DEL/INS) and will not interpret BND signals across SVTYPEs (e.g. combining two BND lines to match a DEL call). A brief description of Truvari bench methodology is linked below.

Finally, Truvari does not handle multi-allelic VCF entries and as of v4.0 will throw an error if multi-allelics are encountered. Please use bcftools norm to split multi-allelic entries.
