MEIs in SplitVariants
svtk vcf2bed uses the ALT field to produce the svtype
column in the output BED file. This means that the svtype
column includes BND alt alleles and values like INS:ME for MEIs. However, the current and previous SplitVariants tasks in GenotypeBatch match exactly on the string "INS" when creating insertion-specific BED files, so the MEIs get grouped with BCAs instead. We should evaluate the impact of this on genotyping and whether MEIs should be grouped with other INS events instead.
