bcftools

The Bcftools module parses results generated by Bcftools, a suite of programs for interacting with variant call data.

Supported commands: stats

Collapse complementary substitutions

In non-strand-specific data, reporting the total numbers of occurences for both changes in a comlementary pair - like A>C and T>G - might not bring any additional information. To collapse such statistics in the substitutions plot, you can add the following section into your configuration:

bcftools:
collapse_complementary_changes: true

MultiQC will sum up all complementary changes and show only A>* and C>* substitutions in the resulting plot.
