Summary: Genotype networks are a method used in systems biology to study the innovability of a given phenotype, determining whether the phenotype is robust to mutations, and how do the genotypes associated to it are distributed in the genotype space. Here we developed VCF2Networks, a tool to apply this method to population genetics data, and in particular to single Nucleotide Variants data encoded in the Variant Call file Format (VCF). A complete summary of the properties of the genotype network that can be calculated by VCF2Networks is given in the Supplementary Materials 1.
