VCFLEFTALIGN(1)	       vcfleftalign (VCF transformation)       VCFLEFTALIGN(1)

NAME
       vcfleftalign

SYNOPSIS
       vcfleftalign options [file]

DESCRIPTION
       Left-align  indels  and	complex	variants in the	input using a pairwise
       ref/alt alignment followed by a heuristic, iterative  left  realignment
       process	that  shifts  indel representations to their absolute leftmost
       (5') extent.

OPTIONS
	      This is the same procedure used in the internal left alignment in
	      freebayes, and can be used when preparing	VCF files for input to
	      freebayes	to decrease positional representation differences between
	      the input	alleles	and left-realigned alignments.

	      options:

		      -r, --reference FILE  Use	this reference as a basis for realignment.
		      -w, --window N	    Use	a window of this many bp when left aligning (150).

	      Left-aligns variants in the specified input file or stdin.  Window
	      size is determined dynamically according to the entropy of the regions
	      flanking the indel.  These must have entropy > 1 bit/bp, or be shorter
	      than ~5kb.

	      Type: transformation

EXIT VALUES
       0      Success

       not 0  Failure
