Answer

The full explanation

We are currently working on native VCF file support. In the meantime, you can use our "VCF to RAW" conversion service:

How to Convert VCF to RAW:
  1. Go to our Store and find the "VCF to RAW" service
  2. Purchase the conversion service
  3. Upload your VCF file
  4. Receive a converted RAW file within 12-48 hours
  5. Use the RAW file for all reports and analysis
What is a VCF file?

A VCF (Variant Call Format) file stores information about DNA variations. Unlike RAW files that include both variants and non-variants, VCF files typically only include detected variations. This can sometimes affect analysis accuracy.

Important Notes:
  • VCF files from WGS (Whole Genome Sequencing) provide comprehensive data
  • Some VCF files may have limited SNP coverage
  • The conversion process ensures compatibility with our platform
  • For BAM/CRAM files from WGS testing, use our "WGS to RAW" service instead
