User should be able to know which reference genome was used in a VCF file
Is there a way to state what version of the reference genome a VCF file is using to make its comparison? Two questions:
- Does this meta data exist in a VCF?
- Is this something that Guacamole can surface when it generates a VCF?
(cc: @arahuja )
We previously had a field on runs that tracked the reference genome used; I took it out for now as
- it wasn't being used;
- the VCF should have a field (
##reference=file:///seq/references/1000GenomesPilot-NCBI36.fasta
e.g., from the 4.2 VCF spec) tracking the reference. We should surface it, though, and do not currently!
Yes, let's surface it!
Once #820 is merged, we can easily start showing the release field on the examine page.
