 - **Variant Identifier.** The ID field is used to store one or more unique identifiers for the variant. Commonly, the rs numbers from [dbSNP](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/snp/) are used.
 
-- **Quality of the Variant.** A measure of confidence in the called variant or lack thereof. This field follows the common practice of encoding qualities as a Phred-scaled quality score with the formula . A score of 10 means there is a 1 in 10 chance of the call being incorrect, 20 means a 1 in 100 chance of the call being incorrect, and so on. If unknown, the value should be the missing value, a period.
+- **Quality of the Variant.** A measure of confidence in the called variant or lack thereof. This field follows the common practice of encoding qualities as a Phred-scaled quality score with the formula Q = -10 log10(p), where p is the probability of an incorrect variant call. A score of 10 means there is a 1 in 10 chance of the call being incorrect, 20 means a 1 in 100 chance of the call being incorrect, and so on. If unknown, the value should be the missing value, a period.
 
-- **Filter Status.** This denotes the status of whether the variant passed all quality filters from the caller. If the variant passes, the value will have a value of PASS. If the variant fails any filters, the value will be a semi-colon separated list of codes for the filters. If unknown, the value should be the missing value.

 - **Additional Information.** A field which can contain an arbitrary number of key-value pairs separated by semicolons of the form /<key/>=/<value1/>[,/<value2/>]. While there are some reserved keys specified in the documentation, anything can be denoted here. If there is no additional information, this field is empty.
