How To Install python3-vcf on Kali Linux
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install python3-vcf on Kali Linux.
What is python3-vcf
python3-vcf is:
The Variant Call Format (VCF) specifies the format of a text file used in bioinformatics for storing gene sequence variations. The format has been developed with the advent of large-scale genotyping and DNA sequencing projects, such as the 1000 Genomes Project.
The intent of this module is to mimic the csv module in the Python
stdlib, as opposed to more flexible serialization formats like JSON or
YAML. vcf will attempt to parse the content of each record based on
the data types specified in the meta-information lines – specifically
the ##INFO and
##FORMAT lines. If these lines are missing or incomplete, it will check
against the reserved types mentioned in the spec. Failing that, it will
just return strings.
