The input requirements are solely a list of variants including the chromosome, start position(0-based coordinates), end position(0-based coordinates), and reference and variant alleles - transferred via a network connection for automated processing or provided via a local file.
One of a few standard file formats, including:
Example Input:
1. | Chromosome (with syntax: `chr1`, `chr22`, `chrX`, etc.) |
Unsupported chromosomes: chrM, chrUn (unmapped), chr7_xyz (alternate haplotype) | |
2. | Start position (0-based coordinates) |
3. | End position (0-based coordinates) |
4. | Variant type ('gain' or 'loss') |
5. | Notes. Arbitrary string data containing no tab characters |
