**What it does**



This tool takes any number of tab-delimited SNP tables and merges them together.It puts SNPs at the same position on the same line and ignores bases that are the same in two strains.


**Example input 1**:



======== === =======
Position Ref Strain1

123      A   G

125      C   T

======== === =======



**Example input 2**:



======== === =======
Position Ref Strain2
123      A   T
124      G   C
125      C   T
======== === =======




**Example output**:



======== === ======= =======
