Function that removes redundancy in variant evidence items (i.e. if a variant is assicated with evidence at the codon level, evidence at the exon/gene level is ignored)

Function that removes redundancy in variant evidence items (i.e. if a variant is assicated with evidence at the codon level, evidence at the exon/gene level is ignored)

Usage

deduplicate_eitems(
  var_eitems = NULL,
  target_type = "exact",
  target_other = c("codon", "exon", "gene")
)

Arguments

var_eitems

data frame with variant evidence items

target_type

which resolution level should be used as the "best" level ('exact' or 'codon)

target_other

resolution levels for other evidence items that should be ignored if evidence is found at the target_type level
