Small Segment Matches - Blog entry by lkessler - 19 Mar 2019

... of most interest, because it is that file that contains the autosomal SNP data that DNA testing companies use for genealogical matching. These files are in gz compressed format. When expanded (to 869 MB and 224 MB) they are standard text files and a bit of the individual SNP file looks like this: My VCF file has a header section of 141 lines. The first line of the ...
