Derivative Molecule

Draft

May change significantly in future releases. See Maturity Model.

Computational Definition

A molecule derived from segments of multiple adjoined molecular sequences, typically resulting from structural variation.

GA4GH Digest

Prefix	Inherent
DM	[‘components’, ‘type’]

Information Model

Some DerivativeMolecule attributes are inherited from Variation.

Field	Flags	Type	Limits	Description
id		string	0..1	The ‘logical’ identifier of the Entity in the system of record, e.g. a UUID. This ‘id’ is unique within a given system, but may or may not be globally unique outside the system. It is used within a system to reference an object from another.
type		string	1..1	MUST be “DerivativeMolecule”.
name		string	0..1	A primary name for the entity.
description		string	0..1	A free-text description of the Entity.
aliases	⋮	string	0..m	Alternative name(s) for the Entity.
extensions	⋮	Extension	0..m	A list of extensions to the Entity, that allow for capture of information not directly supported by elements defined in the model.
digest		string	0..1	A sha512t24u digest created using the VRS Computed Identifier algorithm.
expressions	⋮	Expression	0..m
components	↓	iriReference | Allele | Cis Phased Block | Terminus | Traversal Block	2..m	The molecular components that constitute the derivative molecule.
circular		boolean	0..1	A boolean indicating whether the molecule represented by the sequence is circular (true) or linear (false).
