Allow deletions and insertions in virus properties input files #1126
Comments
Thanks for the suggestion. That's a reasonable extension. One limitation we have at the moment is that we don't have a "private deletions" feature yet. Labeled mutations are a subset of private mutations, so to keep with the logic we'd first need to support private deletions. Not at all unreasonable and actually something I've been thinking about as well. One challenge with deletions is that if you keep them as single bases they can get overwhelmingly many. If you make them ranges, single indel difference artefacts can make a large difference. I'm leaning towards using ranges nonetheless. To be symmetric, it would make sense to add private insertions. |
Having read your ubio post @ammaraziz, I think you are suggesting two things:
We already calculate some custom global (non-private only) metrics like:
Reporting presence of certain mutations (irrespective of whether they are private or not) for antiviral resistance, RAT escape etc would make sense. |
Virus properties only supports labeling of substitutions. There are mutations of interest, such as antiviral resistance, Ngene, which are deletions.
My usecase for virus properties might be outside the scope of what was envisioned. Essentially I have a set of genetic mutations (snps, indels) that are linked to some phenotype (antiviral resistance, Ngene mutations affecting RAT tests) that I am interested in. I would like to use Nextclade to identify these mutations.
Thanks!
