+
+Regions can be specified in a VCF,
+BED, or tab-delimited file (the default). The columns of the
+tab-delimited file are: CHROM, POS, and, optionally, POS_TO,
+where positions are 1-based and inclusive. Uncompressed
+files are stored in memory, while bgzip-compressed and
+tabix-indexed region files are streamed. Note that sequence
+names must match exactly, "chr20" is not the same as "20".
+Also note that chromosome ordering in FILE will be
+respected, the VCF will be processed in the order in which
+chromosomes first appear in FILE. However, within
+chromosomes, the VCF will always be processed in ascending
+genomic coordinate order no matter what order they appear in
+FILE. Note that overlapping regions in FILE can result in
+duplicated out of order positions in the output. This option
+requires indexed VCF/BCF files.

+Targets
+-------
+
+Similar to regions, but the next position is accessed by streaming the whole
+VCF/BCF rather than using the tbi/csi index. Both regions and targets options can be
+applied simultaneously: regions uses the index to jump to a region and targets discards
+positions which are not in the targets. Unlike regions, targets can be prefixed with
+"^" to request logical complement. For example, "^X,Y,MT" indicates that
+sequences X, Y and MT should be skipped. Yet another difference between the two
+is that regions checks both start and end positions of indels, whereas targets checks
+start positions only.
+
+For the bcftools call command, with the option -C alleles, third column of the
+targets file must be comma-separated list of alleles, starting with the
+reference allele. Note that the file must be compressed and index. Such a file
+can be easily created from a VCF using::
+
+    bcftools query -f'%CHROM\t%POS\t%REF,%ALT\n' file.vcf | bgzip -c > als.tsv.gz && tabix -s1 -b2 -e2 als.tsv.gz

+      FORMAT/DV, FMT/DV, or DV
+      FILTER, QUAL, ID, REF, ALT[0]
+
+-  1 (or 0) to test the presence (or absence) of a flag
+
+   ::
+
+      FlagA=1 && FlagB=0
+
+-  "." to test missing values
+
+   ::
+
+      DP=".", DP!=".", ALT="."
+
+-  missing genotypes can be matched regardless of phase and ploidy (".|.", "./.", ".") using this expression
+
+   ::
+
+      GT="."
+
+-  TYPE for variant type in REF,ALT columns (indel,snp,mnp,ref,other)
+
+   ::
+
+      TYPE="indel" | TYPE="snp"
+
+-  array subscripts, "*" for any field
+
+   ::
+
+      (DP4[0]+DP4[1])/(DP4[2]+DP4[3]) > 0.3
+      DP4[*] == 0
+      CSQ[*] ~ "missense_variant.*deleterious"
+
+-  function on FORMAT tags (over samples) and INFO tags (over vector fields)
+
+   ::
+
+      MAX, MIN, AVG, SUM, STRLEN, ABS
+
+-  variables calculated on the fly if not present: number of alternate alleles; number of samples; count of alternate alleles; minor allele count (similar to AC but is always smaller than 0.5); frequency of alternate alleles (AF=AC/AN); frequency of minor alleles (MAF=MAC/AN); number of alleles in called genotypes
+
+   ::
+
+      N_ALT, N_SAMPLES, AC, MAC, AF, MAF, AN
+
+**Notes:**
+
+-  String comparisons and regular expressions are case-insensitive
+-  If the subscript "*" is used in regular expression search, the whole field
+   is treated as one string. For example, the regex ``STR[*]~"B,C"`` will be
+   true for the string vector INFO/STR=AB,CD.
+-  Variables and function names are case-insensitive, but not tag names. For
+   example, "qual" can be used instead of "QUAL", "strlen()" instead of
+   "STRLEN()" , but not "dp" instead of "DP".
+
+**Examples:**
+
+   ::
+
+      MIN(DV)>5
+      MIN(DV/DP)>0.3
+      MIN(DP)>10 & MIN(DV)>3

+      FMT/DP>10 && FMT/GQ>10 .. the conditions can be satisfied in different samples
+      QUAL>10 |  FMT/GQ>10   .. selects only GQ>10 samples
+      QUAL>10 || FMT/GQ>10   .. selects all samples at QUAL>10 sites
+      TYPE="snp" && QUAL>=10 && (DP4[2]+DP4[3] > 2)
+      MIN(DP)>35 && AVG(GQ)>50
+      ID=@file       .. selects lines with ID present in the file
+      ID!=@~/file    .. skip lines with ID present in the ~/file
+      MAF[0]<0.05    .. select rare variants at 5% cutoff
