    Describing tandem repeats using VCF 4.1

    I am writing out tandem repeat variation to VCF format and I would like to use the best possible identifier.

    From VCF 4.1, docs state:

    "The ID field indicates the type of structural variant, and can be a colon-separated list of types and subtypes. ID values are case sensitive strings and may not contain whitespace or angle brackets. The first level type must be one of the following:

    DEL Deletion relative to the reference
    INS Insertion of novel sequence relative to the reference
    DUP Region of elevated copy number relative to the reference
    INV Inversion of reference sequence
    CNV Copy number variable region (may be both deletion and duplication)
    The CNV category should not be used when a more specific category can be applied. Reserved subtypes include:

    DUP:TANDEM Tandem duplication
    DEL:ME Deletion of mobile element relative to the reference
    INS:ME Insertion of a mobile element relative to the reference"

    Certainly if we have a repeat like TATATA, mutations could be described as INS or DEL but I think there should be separate identifier for tandem repeats.

    Thoughts?

    The part about this topic feels surprisingly grounded, and the details on the page is the bit that made me slow down. I’d keep <a href="https://kinpict.com/">ai family photo generator</a> bookmarked for later.

    16S/ITS Profiling vs. Shotgun Metagenomics: What Changes in Your Workflow?
    by SEQadmin2





    NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification,...
