Creating a Raw Data File from a WGS BAM file - Blog entry by lkessler - 12 May 2019
... last post if I could create a raw data file that could be uploaded to to GEDmatch or DNA testing company from my Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) results. I was trying to use one of the Variant Call Format (VCF) files. Those only include where you vary from the human reference. So logically you would think that all the locations not listed must be human reference values. But ...

WGS – The Raw VCF file and the gVCF file - Blog entry by lkessler - 7 May 2019
... everything that is needed to generate a raw data file that can be uploaded to various DNA sites for people matching. The VCF file contains SNPs that vary from the standard human reference genome.

... offers their standard short read WGS for $599, but if you want it, you can wait for DNA Day or other sales, and I’m sure it will come down. In October, when Dante had my sample, I had started reading about long read WGS technology, so I asked Dante if they had that technology available. They said they did. I asked how much that would be. They said $1,750 USD. I asked ...
