bio-variant-normalization

separate

Normalize indel representation and split multiallelic variants using bcftools norm. Use when comparing variants from different callers or preparing VCF for downstream analysis.

When to use

• Left-align indels
• Split multiallelic sites
• Check for normalization issues
• Fix reference alleles
• Atomize complex variants
• Remove duplicates after splitting
• Compare variants from different callers
• Prepare VCF for downstream analysis
