MolecularSequence

Raw data describing a biological sequence.

These interaction paths describe standard FHIR R4 patterns. Availability can depend on the API capabilities enabled for your Ovok project.

Resource-specific search parameters​

ParameterTypeDescription
chromosometokenChromosome number of the reference sequence
chromosome-variant-coordinatecompositeSearch parameter by chromosome and variant coordinate. This will refer to part of a locus or part of a gene where search region will be represented in 1-based system. Since the coordinateSystem can either be 0-based or 1-based, this search query will include the result of both coordinateSystem that contains the equivalent segment of the gene or whole genome sequence. For example, a search for sequence can be represented as chromosome-variant-coordinate=1$lt345$gt123, this means it will search for the MolecularSequence resource with variants on chromosome 1 and with position >123 and <345, where in 1-based system resource, all strings within region 1:124-344 will be revealed, while in 0-based system resource, all strings within region 1:123-344 will be revealed. You may want to check detail about 0-based v.s. 1-based above.
chromosome-window-coordinatecompositeSearch parameter by chromosome and window. This will refer to part of a locus or part of a gene where search region will be represented in 1-based system. Since the coordinateSystem can either be 0-based or 1-based, this search query will include the result of both coordinateSystem that contains the equivalent segment of the gene or whole genome sequence. For example, a search for sequence can be represented as chromosome-window-coordinate=1$lt345$gt123, this means it will search for the MolecularSequence resource with a window on chromosome 1 and with position >123 and <345, where in 1-based system resource, all strings within region 1:124-344 will be revealed, while in 0-based system resource, all strings within region 1:123-344 will be revealed. You may want to check detail about 0-based v.s. 1-based above.
identifiertokenThe unique identity for a particular sequence
patientreferenceThe subject that the observation is about
referenceseqidtokenReference Sequence of the sequence
referenceseqid-variant-coordinatecompositeSearch parameter by reference sequence and variant coordinate. This will refer to part of a locus or part of a gene where search region will be represented in 1-based system. Since the coordinateSystem can either be 0-based or 1-based, this search query will include the result of both coordinateSystem that contains the equivalent segment of the gene or whole genome sequence. For example, a search for sequence can be represented as referenceSeqId-variant-coordinate=NC_000001.11$lt345$gt123, this means it will search for the MolecularSequence resource with variants on NC_000001.11 and with position >123 and <345, where in 1-based system resource, all strings within region NC_000001.11:124-344 will be revealed, while in 0-based system resource, all strings within region NC_000001.11:123-344 will be revealed. You may want to check detail about 0-based v.s. 1-based above.
referenceseqid-window-coordinatecompositeSearch parameter by reference sequence and window. This will refer to part of a locus or part of a gene where search region will be represented in 1-based system. Since the coordinateSystem can either be 0-based or 1-based, this search query will include the result of both coordinateSystem that contains the equivalent segment of the gene or whole genome sequence. For example, a search for sequence can be represented as referenceSeqId-window-coordinate=NC_000001.11$lt345$gt123, this means it will search for the MolecularSequence resource with a window on NC_000001.11 and with position >123 and <345, where in 1-based system resource, all strings within region NC_000001.11:124-344 will be revealed, while in 0-based system resource, all strings within region NC_000001.11:123-344 will be revealed. You may want to check detail about 0-based v.s. 1-based above.
typetokenAmino Acid Sequence/ DNA Sequence / RNA Sequence
variant-endnumberEnd position (0-based exclusive, which menas the acid at this position will not be included, 1-based inclusive, which means the acid at this position will be included) of the variant.
variant-startnumberStart position (0-based inclusive, 1-based inclusive, that means the nucleic acid or amino acid at this position will be included) of the variant.
window-endnumberEnd position (0-based exclusive, which menas the acid at this position will not be included, 1-based inclusive, which means the acid at this position will be included) of the reference sequence.
window-startnumberStart position (0-based inclusive, 1-based inclusive, that means the nucleic acid or amino acid at this position will be included) of the reference sequence.
