Hi
Does FINSURF only support hg19 ?

Hi,

I'm trying to run FINSURF on a list of SNPs, but have a couple of questions.
1- I could not find anywhere in the github repo what build I should use to supply my variants. My guess was it's hg19, but wanted to hear from you since it works based on position and not rsID.
2- I ran 1000 SNPs on the website but for more than half of them I did not get any results back, what does it mean or what could be wrong?
3- What is the use of Ref/Alt alleles in the calculation?

Thanks,
Mehdi

Hi FINSURF team,

I have noticed that the input for FINSURF is not a true VCF file as it does not contain a full header. Furthermore, the column list is greatly truncated from a standard VCF file. Can you include an update to allow it to correctly parse native VCF files? In the mean time this requires all users to recognize this and edit their vcf files appropriately to match the restrictive input format requirement in the current script. You should also update the readme to notify users about specifics of the input requirements until the code is patched. Thank you.
