Genomic Coordinates

Convert genomic intervals between coordinate conventions, normalise and compare variant representations, and detect assembly or contig-naming mismatches before they corrupt an analysis. Use whenever coordinates cross a format, tool, or assembly boundary - converting between BED, GFF/GTF, VCF, SAM/BAM, WIG, PSL, genePred, Picard interval_list, or region strings; reconciling 0-based half-open with 1-based inclusive; left-aligning or trimming indels; checking whether two variant records describe the same change; mapping genomic to transcript, CDS, or protein positions; auditing a BED/GTF/VCF for convention violations; or diagnosing GRCh37 vs hg19 vs GRCh38 vs T2T, chr-prefix…
