News:A Json-Based Annotation Format

Question

[Pierre Lindenbaum]

FYI,

I wrote a java FeatureCodec for JSON with a the tribble library.

See: https://github.com/lindenb/jsontribble

The library contains the tools to sort, index and query the json file.

I also wrote a REST service:

http://localhost:8080/jsontribble/rest/tribble/resources/dbsnp/annotations.json?chrom=chr1&start=881826&end=981826

{"header":{"description":"UCSC  snp137: select count(*) from snp137 where FIND_IN_SET(func,\"missense\")>0 and avHet>0.1"}
,"features":[
{"chrom":"chr1","start":881826,"end":881827,"name":"rs112341375","score":0,"strand":"+","refNCBI":"G","refUCSC":"G","observed":"C/G","class":"single","valid":["by-frequency"],"avHet":0.5,"func":["missense"],"submitters":["BUSHMAN"]}
