Help on Variant Call Format file for CADD Score determination?

23 January 2019 0 636 Report

Hi everyone,

I would like to use the CADD Score to determine the deleteriousness of novel genetic variants. The web interface requests a VCF file as input file type, unfortunately, I do not know how to create such a file - it seems like it is a simple text file, nevertheless, I am having trouble to generate one...

Could someone help me create such a file or guide me through the process of creating one? Any help is highly appreciated!
