Relative Sequence Location

Definition and Information Model

Warning

This data class is at a draft maturity level and may change significantly in future releases. Maturity levels are described in the GKS Maturity Model.

Computational Definition

A location on a base sequence and its position relative to a boundary offset on a mapped sequence gap. Typically used to describe intronic locations that exist with respect to a mapped RNA transcript sequence.

Information Model

Some RelativeSequenceLocation attributes are inherited from GA4GH Identifiable Object.

Field	Flags	Type	Limits	Description
id		string	0..1	The ‘logical’ identifier of the Entity in the system of record, e.g. a UUID. This ‘id’ is unique within a given system, but may or may not be globally unique outside the system. It is used within a system to reference an object from another.
name		string	0..1	A primary name for the entity.
description		string	0..1	A free-text description of the Entity.
aliases	⋮	string	0..m	Alternative name(s) for the Entity.
extensions	⋮	Extension	0..m	A list of extensions to the Entity, that allow for capture of information not directly supported by elements defined in the model.
digest		string	0..1	A sha512t24u digest created using the VRS Computed Identifier algorithm.
type		string	1..1	MUST be “RelativeSequenceLocation”
baseSequenceLocation		Sequence Location | iriReference	1..1	An absolute location on a sequence.
mappedSequenceLocation		iriReference | Sequence Offset Location	1..1	A location relative to an offset on a mapped sequence.
