How search queries are built
v100.39.0+ and above
Search queries are built using detailed variant information whenever possible.
The smart query builder:
Supports variant aliases
Takes variant type into account for more precise and context-aware results
The query logic varies by variant type:
SNVs/indels (including mtDNA): Includes gene symbol, dbSNP identifier, HGVS coding change, and HGVS protein change across affected transcripts
CNVs: Includes gene symbol, ISCN notation, cytoband, genomic location, and standard terms like «CNV», «deletion» and similar
SV insertions: Includes gene symbol, cytoband, genomic location, and standard SV descriptors, and standard terms like «SV», «rearrangement» and similar
Versions prior to v100.39.0
Search queries are based on gene information only.
