We'll return to this example data later to demonstrate a much more involved tool, GATK, to do the same steps in another tutorial.

This same type of analysis can be done on much larger cohorts, say cohorts of 100 or even 1000s of individuals with known disease state to attempt to identify associations between allelic state and disease state.

Here is an honest write-up about the Ts/Tv metric, referencing this 2002 paper by Ebersberger. Bottom line: between about 2.1 and 2.8 is OK for Ts/Tv (also called Ti/Tv). You can also get some quick stats with some linux one-liners on this page; there are more thorough analysis programs built to work with vcf's.
