Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetic distance metrics are crucial for understanding the evolutionary relationships and population structure of organisms. Progress in next-generation sequencing technology has given rise of genotyping data of thousands of individuals. The standard Variant Call Format (VCF) is widely used to store genomic variation information, but calculating genetic distance and constructing population phylogeny...
