Update BasicVariantColumns for new columns

Opened this issue · 3 comments

Update BasicVariantColumns to include new default columns for 1.2 including: 2 Jannovar columns (EFFECT, HGVS - both extracted from the INFO field), defualt allele frequency columns for 1000g and 6500ex, Clinvar fields (there will likely be 5 - this isn't 100% finished yet).

This is probably not want we want to do. The Jannovar columns aren't always there -- there's a checkbox which makes Jannovar columns optional. Similarly, the user can override the default annotations, so one cannot assume that these are always present either. Also, the indices at which these columns are located are variable.

Well, then we have to detail what the precise name of each column will be in the DB so that a user can use an indexOf-like method to obtain the columns without prior knowledge of the DB structure (which is essentially what I am doing for these columns right now)

I think the way to get at these columns is going to be different than
what you have been doing for basicvariantcolumns, but I can appreciate
the need to clarify how to get at the various data associated with each
variant.
