vcf-isec - create intersections, unions, complements on bgzipped and tabix indexed VCF or tab-delimited files

vcf-isec [OPTIONS] file1.vcf file2.vcf ...

About: Create intersections, unions, complements on bgzipped and tabix indexed VCF or tab-delimited files.

Note that lines from all files can be intermixed together on the output, which can yield unexpected results.

Process the given chromosomes (comma-separated list or one chromosome per line in a file).
Output positions present in the first file but missing from the other files.
Debugging information
Continue even if the script complains about differing columns.
Print only entries from the left-most file. Without -o, all unique positions will be printed.
Output positions present in this many (=), this many or more (+), or this many or fewer (-) files.
If present, multiple files will be created with all possible isec combinations. (Suitable for Venn Diagram analysis.)
Tab-delimited file with indexes of chromosome and position columns. (1-based indexes)
In repetitive sequences, the same indel can be called at different positions. Consider records this far apart as matching (be it a SNP or an indel).
