Hello,

I am new to bioinformatic.
I expect to get the table summarizing SNP or indel variants out of reads mapped to the reference genome together with coverage information (number of reads). I used BCFtools mpileup and continued with BCFtools call. I got .bcf file and could not figure out how to open or view it.

Appreciate all the help,
Thank you

Dear @Prakit_Saingam,
A bcf file is a compressed version of a vcf file (see here). You can look into the content of a bcf file by converting it into a vcf file with the tool bcftools view Convert, filter, subset VCF/BCF files.

Have a good day and best wishes,
Florian
