Note that the guidelines are only required for the pull request to be merged automatically. However, it is strongly recommended to follow them, since otherwise the pull request needs to be manually reviewed and merged by a human.

After you have fixed the AutoMerge issues, simple retrigger Registrator, which will automatically update this pull request. You do not need to change the version number in your Project.toml file (unless of course the AutoMerge issue is that you skipped a version number, in which case you should change the version number).

If you do not want to fix the AutoMerge issues, please post a comment explaining why you would like this pull request to be manually merged.

Since you are registering a new package, please make sure that you have also read the package naming guidelines: https://julialang.github.io/Pkg.jl/dev/creating-packages/#Package-naming-guidelines-1

If a longer name for this package is desired, it would be VariantCallFormat.jl. I do however think that VCF.jl is more appropriate.

• VCF files are used a lot in bioinformatics and that's the term that people use. Fewer people would recognize Variant Call Format.
• 99.9% of user who need this package already have VCF files produced by other tools. So VCF.j is the natural package name to search for.
• Several other package names, like CSV.jl and XLSX.jl use the file extension as the package name.

Previously, VCF file IO existed in the not actively maintained package GeneticVariation.jl. It makes more sense to have it in a separate package, with fewer dependencies.
Since VCF.jl is building on GeneticVariation.jl v0.4, I choose v0.5 as the starting version number for VCF.jl.

It is likely that I will close this pull request, change the name to VariantCallFormat.jl and re-register.
I'll leave it open for a while longer to gather more comments though.

This pull request is no longer valid. I'm changing the name of the package to VariantCallFormat.jl.
