## S4 method for signature 'VCF'
dropInfo(
    vcf, key = NULL, slot = "both")

vcf

VCF object.

key

character vector of INFO keys to remove.

If NULL (the default), all keys are checked, and removed from the given slot if they do not have a matching entry in the other slot.

slot

Should the INFO keys be removed from the "header", the "data", or "both" (the default)?

An integer vector representing the aggregated count of the given genotypes in each row.

In the future, x should also support genotype quality (GQ) to consider only genotypes above a given quality cut-off.

# Example data ----

# VCF file
vcfFile <- system.file("extdata", "moderate.vcf", package = "TVTB")

# TVTB parameters
tparam <- TVTBparam(Genotypes("0|0", c("0|1", "1|0"), "1|1"))

# Pre-process variants
vcf <- VariantAnnotation::readVcf(
    vcfFile, param = tparam)
vcf <- VariantAnnotation::expand(vcf, row.names = TRUE)


# Example usage ----

dropInfo(vcf)
dropInfo(vcf, "CSQ")
