Not sure what OP is doing with plant genomes (other than some genomics)
but the tools all use files and pipeline of sub-tools. In and out of
tuples would be expensive. Very,very little "editing" done in the usual
"update table set val where id" sense.
Lines in a vcf file can have thousands of colums fo nasty, cryptic
garbage data that only really makes sense to tools, reader. Highly
denormalized of course. (Btw, I hate sequencing :) )
