    countSingletons(gdsobj, use.names=FALSE)

### Arguments

`gdsobj` | A `SeqVarGDSClass` object with VCF data.
`use.names` | A logical indicating whether to assign variant IDs as names of the output vector.

A singleton variant is a variant in which only one sample has a non-reference allele. For each sample, `countSingletons` finds the number of variants for which that sample has the only non-reference allele.

### Value

A vector of the number of singleton variants per sample.
