    Hi Robin,

    you can use MergeVcfs for merging the two PoN vcfs:

    gatk MergeVcfs -I pon1.vcf.gz -I pon2.vcf.gz -O merged_pon.vcf.gz

    Best,

    Philipp

    This does seem to work. But according to MergeVcfs:

    If there are samples, those must be the same across all input files.

    I have successfully run it with one VCF with samples and one without, so the requirement is not strict, it seems.
