Re: [Samtools-help] The difference between pileup and mpileup

[Joseph F. <jos...@gm...>]

Look up 6-column and 10-column pileup ... the old pileup command could
generate both; only the 10-column pileup contains genotype / variant calls.
The newer mpileup command can generate 6-column pileup, but will only
output genotype / variant calls in VCF format.
