-find small polymorphisms, specifically SNPs (single-nucleotide polymorphisms),
-indels (insertions and deletions), MNPs (multi-nucleotide polymorphisms), and
-complex events (composite insertion and substitution events) smaller than the

+sequence variation as it can be described by VCF. It is both an API for parsing
+and operating on records of genomic variation as it can be described by the VCF
+format, and a collection of command-line utilities for executing complex
+manipulations on VCF files.")
