# Autogenerated MD5SUM for VCF Files

An MD5SUM file is generated automatically for VCF output files. This file is in the same output directory and has the same name as the VCF output file, but with an .md5sum extension appended. For example, whole\_genome\_run\_123.vcf.md5sum. The MD5SUM files is a single-line text file that contains the md5sum of the VCF output file. This md5sum exactly matches the output of the Linux md5sum command.
