vcfexpress applies simple user expressions variants in a VCF. it can replace one-off python scripts to manipulate VCFs, likely with better performance. we'd like to collect use-cases here: if you have a use-case and want some pointers, open an issue

vcfexpress is a command-line tool built in rust that lets users apply lua expressions to modify or filter a vcf from the command-line new release with better docs and examples

with @JKunisaki from @aaronquinlan lab, have been dusting off fraguracy, which evaluates sequencing error rates using the portion of bases from paired end reads that overlap. new release adds, among other niceties, tracking for distance to homopolymer.

echtvar still (echt waar) annotates variants extremely rapidly with large population databases where most variants are encoded into 32 bits (and are then compressed with stream v-byte). latest release fixes a small bug

@johanneskoester @aaronquinlan it does not support BNDs. yes, similar in spirit to vembrane. note that we use the vembrane benchmark which was very nice to have. 👍
