VCF 4.4 issues #640
Comments
Some of the issues above are simple to fix but others probably needs more work. Maybe separate issue at least for copy number variation would be warranted. |
…ified END & symbolic SVs start position
It's
I've been adding matching clarification text to other sections for 4.4 RC2 so it's much more obvious that there is indeed a padding base for SVs. |
Not really, as CIPOS and CILEN are CIs about fundamentally discrete positional values. I have a PR that changes CN to Float so it's actually a usable field for somatic samples but that's a different argument for a different thread. |
I quite dislike |
For precise variants, END is POS + length of REF allele − 1
For the above variant, the given definition means that
END=1+2-1=2
which is not the intended definition.SVLEN
of the variant.SVLEN
takes priority overEND
(sinceEND
is used for gVCF), and that implementation MAY inferSVLEN
fromEND
but MUST useSVLEN
if bothSVLEN
andEND
are present.SVLEN is defined for INS, DUP, INV , and DEL symbolic alleles as the number of the inserted, duplicated, inverted, and deleted bases respectively.
This is redefining SVLEN for DEL events as well as DUP & INV. Ok to do, but less backwards compatible
Add clarifying text that the number of entries must be 4 * # alt because each entry contains 4 values (since they are comma separated and that's the string list separator).
Should be
Float
, notInteger
CN
Current definition of
Copy number of segment containing breakend
doesn't make sense except forBND
variants. Need separate definitions for<CNV>
, breakpoint, and symbolic allele variants.CNADJ
Same issue as
CN
. Also need to define in which direction the adjacency is.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
