Genome build information is an essential part of genomic track files

Genome build information is an essential part of genomic track files

Abstract Genomic locations are represented as coordinates on a specific genome build version, but the build information is frequently missing when coordinates are provided. We show that this information is essential to correctly interpret and analyse the genomic intervals contained in genomic track...
