AlphaGenome: batch_variant_scoring : what is the best SNP of interest ?

Hi all,

I've got a set of interesting variants in a VCF file and I wanted to use alphagenome ( https://deepmind.google/blog/alphagenome-ai-for-better-understanding-the-genome/ ) to get a score. After calling the API for each variant, I get a large number of metrics for each variant. Looks like:

variant_id      scored_interval gene_id gene_name       gene_type       gene_strand     junction_Start  junction_End    output_type     variant_scorer  track_name      track_strand    Assay titleontology_curie   biosample_name  biosample_type  biosample_life_stage    data_source     endedness       genetically_modified    transcription_factor    histone_mark    gtex_tissue     raw_score  quantile_score

I'm a bit lost here (and the documentation is not clear to me) as there are 4620 distinct 'track_name'.

how can I find the most 'interesting variant' whatever is the variant_scorer/track_name ? should I aggregate the data in some way ? which metrics should I use raw_score ? quantile_score ? can I use those metrics among all the type of analysis ?

thanks, P.
