Limitations of vtools genotype database #11
Moved from https://github.com/vatlab/vat-dp/issues/11
- It is not sparse for simple scenarios (where genotypes are coded 0/1/2/NA)
- It does not distinguish between 0 and NA, unless we specifically asks it
- It does not store phase information
- It only accepts integers, not imputed genotypes
- Storing various annotations makes the genotype database painfully complex
