blt vcf-downsample(1)	    General Commands Manual	 blt vcf-downsample(1)

SYNOPSIS
       blt vcf-downsample desired-count	< input.vcf > output.vcf

DESCRIPTION
       blt  vcf-downsample  Outputs  a	uniformly random sample	of roughly de-
       sired-count VCF calls from the input.  The strategy involves generating
       a random	number which is	compared to desired-count / original-count for
       each input VCF call, and	outputting it only if  the  random  number  is
       less.   As  a  result, the actual number	of output calls	is usually not
       exactly desired-count, but is usually within a few percent.

       The program is quite fast, so if	the actual count is too	 far  off  for
       your needs, one strategy	is to simply discard the output	and try	again.

       Currently  only	single-sample  VCFs  are supported.  Multi-sample VCFs
       will be supported if and	when a need is encountered.

EXAMPLES
       blt vcf-downsample 1000 < input.vcf > output.vcf
