 A VCF will therefore contain one entry per trio.
 The fourth line is an example of the most general form of a pedigree line.
 It means that the genome SampleID is derived from the N $\ge$ 1 genomes Ancestor1, ..., AncestorN.
+The fifth and sixth lines describe relationships between twins.
+Regular siblings can be inferred implicitly from trios like the third line, but if the parents are unknown, the seventh line describes a sibling relationship explicitly.
 
-Mother and Father have the same meaning as in PED files. Consider the following example PED line (the columns are Family ID, Individual ID, Paternal ID, Maternal ID, Sex, Phenotype, Genotypes):
