Raw data describing Representation of a biological molecular sequence.

10.6.1 10.7.1 Scope and Usage

The Clinical Genomics committee has identified overlaps and redundancies between content in the MolecularSequence resource and content in Observation profiles in the evolving Implementation Guide for Clinical Genomics Reporting found here . The committee is considering options for modifying the resource and anticipates potential changes being brought forward in an upcoming ballot.

The MolecularSequence resource is designed to describe an atomic sequence which contains the alignment sequencing test result and multiple variations. Atomic sequences can be connected by link element and they will lead to sequence graph. By this method, a sequence for representing molecular sequences. It can be reported. Complete genetic sequence information, of which specific genetic variations are a part, is reported by reference to the GA4GH repository. Thus, represent the FHIR MolecularSequence resource avoids large genomic payloads sequence in a manner analogous different ways, allowing implementations to how adopt the FHIR ImagingStudy resource references large images maintained in other systems. For most effective one for their use cases, details on how this resource interact with other Clinical Genomics resources or profiles, please refer to implementation guidance document here . 10.6.1.1 Genetic Standards and Resources include: Variant Databases: dbSNP , ClinVar , and COSMIC Reference Sequences: RefSeq and ENSEMBL This resource is designed to describe sequence variations with clinical significance with information such as: case.

Name of the variation represented Type of the variation Gene region occupied by the variation Tissue source used to determine genotype of the variation Quality of the result

It is strongly encouraged to provide all available as much information in this resource for any reported variants, sequences, because receiving systems (e.g. discovery research, outcomes analysis, and public health reporting) may use this information to normalize variants sequences over time or across sources. However, these data should not be used to dynamically correct/change variant sequence representations for clinical use outside of the laboratory, due to insufficient information.

Implementers should be aware The MolecularSequence resource is designed to represent a single sequence in an instance. Each sequence might have multiple representations, but implementers SHALL ensure all representations are for the same sequence. This means that if a single MolecularSequence instance contains a literal , two formatted files, and a relative , all four of those representations must represent the same sequence. This can be a challenge across systems, as semantic equivalency of results of genetic variants sequences cannot be guaranteed unless there is an agreed upon standard between sending and receiving systems.

10.6.2 10.7.2 Boundaries and Relationships

Focus of the The MolecularSequence resource is should only be used to provide sequencing alignment data immediately relevant capture a molecular sequence. It will not be used for other entities such as variant, variant annotations, genotypes, haplotypes, etc. Those concepts will be captured in Observation profiles found in the Genomics Reporting Implementation Guide icon. The sequence that was observed that led to what the interpretation on clinical decision-making originates from. Hence identification of those concepts can be delivered with this resource, and will be referenced by those observations.

MolecularSequence will not be used to capture data such as precise read of DNA sequences and sequence alignment are not included; such data are nonetheless may be accessible through references to GA4GH icon (Global Alliance for Genomics and Health) API. The MolecularSequence resource will API, and may be referenced by Observation to provide variant information. As clinical assessments/diagnosis of a patient are typically captured in the Condition resource or the ClinicalImpression resource, the MolecularSequence resource can be referenced by the Condition resource to provide specific genetic data to support assertions. This is analogous to how Condition references other resources, such as AllergyIntolerance , Procedure , and Questionnaire resources. formatted element.

10.6.5 10.7.5 Notes: Notes

10.6.5.1 10.7.5.1 MolecularSequence Coordinate System Representing the Sequence

When saving the variant information, the nucleic acid will be numbered with order. Some files are using 0-based coordinates (e.g. BCD This resource supports three patterns for representing a sequence of interest:

  • By providing a literal string of IUPAC codes representing nucleotides or amino acids.
  • By linking to a formatted file format) while some files are using 1-based coordinates or link containing the sequence information (e.g. VCF FASTA file format). or GA4GH sequence repository).
  • By providing a list of edits from a starting sequence.

The element coordinateSystem in MolecularSequence resource contains this information. is designed to represent a single sequence in an instance. Each sequence might have multiple representations, but implementers SHALL ensure all representations are for the same sequence.

10.7.5.1.1 Sequence as a literal string

MolecularSequence.coordinateSystem constraints within two possible values: 0 for 0-based system, which will mark literal : This string element can be used to hold the sequence as a string of characters.

10.7.5.1.2 Sequence as a file or URL

formatted : This Attachment is used to refer to the sequence as embedded file content or via a URL reference.

This method can be used to refer to sequence data from number 0, while 1 for 1-based system, which will begin marking in an external source. If the first position with number 1. The significant difference between two system sequence is referring to a GA4GH repository, the end position. In 0-based system, the end position formatted.url should refer to a GA4GH compliant endpoint that conforms to GA4GH data models.

10.7.5.1.3 Sequence as a series of edits from a known sequence

relative : This complex element is exclusive , which means used for encoding sequence. When the last position information of starting sequence and edits are provided, the observed sequence will not be contained derived. Here is a picture below:

null
10.7.5.1.3.1 Composing multiple relative sequences into one new sequence

relative.ordinalPosition : Indicates the order in which the sequence window while should be considered when putting multiple relative instances together.

relative.sequenceRange : Indicates the nucleotide range in 1-based system, the end position composed sequence when multiple relative instances are used together.

These attributes help to clarify what sequence is inclusive , which means being represented with less computation/inference on the last position recipient side. Implementers SHOULD use sequenceRange first to determine order as the most reliable. If sequenceRange is included not present then ordinalPosition SHOULD be used. Finally, if both sequenceRange and ordinalPosition are absent, then the order of the relative data elements SHOULD be used to calculate a composition. It is the responsibility of the data sender to ensure the message can be consistently understood. Additionally, gaps in sequenceRange are considered intentional (i.e. the composed sequence window. Note both systems has an inclusive start position. contains a sequence of N's, the placeholder nucleotide, for the gap range).

For example, ACGTGCAT will In a FGFR2:MET Fusion use case, where the fusion was uncovered through RNA sequencing, a partial representation can be numbered from 1 found here .

10.7.5.1.3.2 Representing the Starting Sequence

relative.startingSequence : There are four optional ways to 8 represent a starting sequence in 1-based system MolecularSequence resource:

  1. relative.startingSequence.sequenceCodeableConcept : Starting sequence id in public database;
  2. relative.startingSequence.sequenceString : Starting sequence string;
  3. relative.startingSequence.sequenceReference : Reference to starting sequence stored in another sequence entity;
  4. relative.startingSequence.genomeAssembly , relative.startingSequence.chromosome : The combination of genome assembly and chromosome.

The relative.startingSequence.windowStart and relative.startingSequence.windowEnd defines a range from the starting sequence that is used to define a subsequence used as the starting sequence.

10.7.5.1.3.3 Coordinate System

When saving the sequence information, the nucleic acid will be numbered from 0 to 8 in with order. Some representations use a 0-based system to mark flanks (i.e. place between two Nucleotide). So the interval [3,5] in (e.g. GA4GH API, BAM files) while some use a 1-based system is GTG while interval [2,5) in (e.g. VCF file format). The element coordinateSystem contains this information.

relative.coordinateSystem binds to a LOINC answer list, please review those answers here icon as well as the detailed description found here icon.

Here are two examples:

  • 0-based system is same segment GTG. example: here
  • 1-based example: here

10.6.5.2 10.7.5.1.3.4 Choice of Strand

There are lots of definition many considerations concerning with the Directionality directionality of DNA or RNA. Here we are using referenceSeq.orientation relative.startingSequence.orientation and relative.startingSequence.strand . referenceSeq.strand . orientation Orientation represents the sense of the sequence, which has different meanings depending on the type . MolecularSequence.type . strand Strand represents the sequence writing order. Watson strand refers to 5' to 3' top strand (5' -> 3'), whereas Crick strand refers to 5' to 3' bottom strand (3' <- 5').

10.6.5.3 String usage for reference sequence and observed sequence

We hope that string of observedSeq Only two possible values can be constrained more than just any normal string but with notation tables. Here we present what made by strand, watson and crick . Since the nucleotide acid directionality of the sequence string should might be constrained within the range: represented in different ways in different omics scenario, below are examples of how to map other expressions into its correlated value:

A --> adenosine M --> A C (amino) U --> uridine H --> A C T V --> G C A
Watson Crick
C --> cytidine S --> G C (strong) D --> G A T 5′-to-3′ direction K --> G T (keto) 3′-to-5′ direction
G --> guanine W --> A T (weak) R --> G A (purine) +1 N --> A G C T (any) -1
T --> thymidine Sense B --> G T C Antisense
Y --> T C (pyrimidine) Positive - --> gap of indeterminate length Negative
while

10.7.5.2 Character usage for sequence as strings

There are attributes where the amino acid sequence is represented as a string of characters.

  • relative.startingSequence.sequenceString
  • relative.edit.replacementSequence
  • relative.edit.replacedSequence
  • literal

The characters used in these string representations of a sequence should be constrained within to the range: A alanine P proline B aspartate or asparagine Q glutamine C cystine R arginine D aspartate S serine E glutamate T threonine F phenylalanine U selenocysteine G glycine V valine H histidine W tryptophan I isoleucine Y tyrosine K lysine Z glutamate or glutamine L leucine X any M methionine * translation stop N asparagine - gap of indeterminate length IUPAC codes found here https://www.bioinformatics.org/sms2/iupac.html icon.
