vg is a C++ toolkit for building, manipulating, and analyzing genome variation graphs (pangenome graphs). It provides succinct graph data structures, sequence alignment, genotyping, and variant calling against graphs of many genomes.
Use cases
- build a pangenome variation graph from multiple genome sequences
- align sequencing reads to a genome graph
- call variants against a pangenome graph
- genotype structural variants using a graph
- convert between graph genome formats like GFA and GBZ
- project graph coordinates back to reference coordinates
When to choose
- you need pangenome graph construction, alignment, or genotyping tools
- you are doing genomics research with many genomes represented as a graph
- you need stable coordinate systems across graph transformations
When to avoid
- you only need simple linear-reference read alignment
- you need a GUI-based genome browser
- you work outside genomics and bioinformatics
