Bcftools Download The File

Its likely it was just me, but maybe there are a few other people like me who will benefit from being able to avoid the process.

This was a clean Ubuntu 18.04 install.

Probably most people do not have that luxury.

Others may benefit from it, if they want to compile these softwares from source.

People who do not know that should be working with bioinformaticians who do and learning in the process, not searching online.

And i dont mean this to be my personal beef about documentation that is not sufficient enough to make up for my lack of basic knowledge.

And some of us whove spent decades in biology are still beginners in bioinformatics.

I learned a lot from this thread - both the original post and the comments that followed.

I can see the perspective of a basal level of required knowledge, but not every bioinformatics expert is a good teacher, and even if they are good teachers, they are busy people.

People who invest time in online forums like biostars are sharing people and make the world of science a better place.

I have 7200 individual VCF files and I want to merge them into a single VCF with follow.
