+This suite includes all the checks from the vcftools suite as well as additional lexical, syntactic and semantic analysis of the VCF input. If any inconsistencies are found, they are classified in one of the following categories:
* Errors: Violations of the VCF specification
-* Warnings: An indication that something weird happened (commas were used instead of colons to split ids) or a recommendation is not followed (missing meta-data)
+* Warnings: A recommendation is not followed or potentially wrong information appears in the file
