Do not output the nucleotide sequence of SV to the vcf file.

[star-lamp]

Hello!
Because the inclusion of nucleotide sequences for SVs in the VCF file results in a large file size, I would like to exclude the nucleotide sequences during the output process. I have checked all the parameters and it seems there is no corresponding option. I would appreciate any good solution you could provide. Thank you very much for creating this software, and I hope to receive your assistance.

Hello, @star-lamp

We add the parameter --ignore_sequence to enable to output alternative strings like <INS> instead of the nucleotide sequences. You can git clone the latest codes in GitHub, install via git clone https://github.com/tjiangHIT/cuteSV.git && cd cuteSV/ && python setup.py install, and use this parameter to exclude the output nucleotide sequences.

Best,
Shuqi
