Reason for Masking with Date / Version

[SharifShaaban-PHS]

Hi,

We recently implemented masking using this table. We realised that certain sites might only require masking when using a particular primer set as we are seeing sites for lineage defining mutations being masked (e.g. G24410A for Delta which we are reluctant to mask). We receive data from several sequencing laboratories that use different primer versions. Would be possible to add a column to the table that specify for coordinates that are being masked for: amplicon_drop_or_primer_artefact which primer type this relates to?

Cheers

Thanks for your message. We are currently investigating if there is a straight-forward way to add such flags to cross-reference problematic sites with amplicon primers in an automated and updateable manner. Thanks for the suggestion!
