writeFingerPrint

public static void writeFingerPrint(Fingerprint fingerprint,
                                    File outputFile,
                                    File referenceSequenceFileName,
                                    String sample,
                                    String source)
                             throws IOException

A function that takes a Fingerprint and writes it as a VCF to a file

Parameters:: fingerprint - the fingerprint to write; outputFile - the file to write to; referenceSequenceFileName - the reference sequence (file); sample - the sample name to use in the vcf; source - a "source" comment to use in the VCF
Throws:: IOException

createVCSetFromFingerprint
```
public static FingerprintUtils.VariantContextSet createVCSetFromFingerprint(Fingerprint fingerPrint,
                                                                            htsjdk.samtools.reference.ReferenceSequenceFile reference,
                                                                            String sample)
```
A utility function that takes a fingerprint and returns a VariantContextSet with variants representing the haplotypes in the fingerprint

Parameters:

fingerPrint - A fingerprint

reference - A reference sequence that will be used to create the VariantContexts

sample - A sample name that will be used for the genotype field

Returns:

VariantContextSet with variants representing the haplotypes in the fingerprint
