Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

BCFtools is a set of utilities that manipulate genomic variant calls in the Variant Call Format (VCF) and its binary counterpart (BCF). All commands work transparently with both VCFs and BCFs, both uncompressed and BGZF-compressed. (This BCFtools includes the polysomy subcommand, which is implemented using the GNU Scientific Library. Hence this package is licensed according to the GNU General Public License, rather than the MIT license used when BCFtools is built without the polysomy subcommand.)

Mapping provenance

Only source-backed identity signals create public cross-OS links. A reviewer can later approve or dispute an inferred relationship without rewriting native package history.
