A new tool has been added to the suite! This one checks that the REF column in a VCF matches the sequence contained in a FASTA file, and reports any mismatches in a summary or plain text file, in a similar fashion to the VCF validator reporting. A new report type that only outputs the valid lines is also included in this tool.

We have also added support for Windows, making the suite compatible with the 3 major operating systems. Please be aware that you will need to decompress your files before validating them on Windows due to a known issue.

You can find the binaries for all versions, ready for direct download, attached to these notes.
