Here is a deletion record in dbsnp 135. Is 'start' always the 1st deleted base or is it like the vcf format which the start is always 1bp before 1st deleted base? E.g. 131 chr1 61341695 61341699 rs146746778 0 + TTTA TTTA -/TTTA genomic deletion Fo insertion, is 'start' reported as 1bp before insertion? So in this case, I imagine there's a CA insertion between 92536832 92536833 in 0-base coordinates. E.g. 161 chr1 92536832 92536832 rs72159935 0 + - - -/CA genomic insertion Best, Kyle _______________________________________________ Genome maillist - [email protected] https://lists.soe.ucsc.edu/mailman/listinfo/genome _______________________________________________ Genome maillist - [email protected] https://lists.soe.ucsc.edu/mailman/listinfo/genome
