Why it matters in GWAS

Off-by-one coordinate mistakes can silently break overlap with genes, regulatory annotations, LD panels, or summary statistics. When harmonizing resources across annotation tools, browsers, and pipelines, analysts need to know both the genome build and the coordinate convention.

Example usage

"At this locus, Genome Coordinate System annotations were used to prioritize plausible biological mechanisms."

Click any node to open that term page.

Node order. The current term is first. Next come every page linked from Related terms, in the same top-to-bottom order as that list. Then new terms appear in two-hop layers: for each of those direct neighbors (in that same order), their related terms are appended if not already listed. A third pass does the same for two-hop nodes. The walk stops when a fixed maximum number of nodes is reached.
