If it is installed on your computer, typing bcftools at the commandline prompt should give you something like this:
Otherwise, have a look in the samtools directory, there should be a subdirectory called bcftools.Code:$ bcftools Program: bcftools (Tools for data in the VCF/BCF formats) Version: 0.1.17-dev (r973:277) Usage: bcftools <command> <arguments> Command: view print, extract, convert and call SNPs from BCF index index BCF cat concatenate BCFs ld compute all-pair r^2 ldpair compute r^2 between requested pairsComment

Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.
The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
