[ensembl-dev] Fwd: Re: Transcript variation alleles - - Bayesian Filter detected spam

[Pontus Larsson]

Hi Andrea,

Yes, the default behavior in 61 is the same as pre-61, i.e. no failed 
variations returned. It's not strictly true to say that any methods that 
return multiple objects filters out failed variations though, if you get 
multiple objects by a call that explicitly specifies a list of objects 
to fetch (e.g. fetch_all_by_VariationFeatures on 
TranscriptVariationAdaptor or fetch_all_by_name_list on 
VariationAdaptor), you will get the failed variations irrespective of 
what the flag on the DBAdaptor says.
But the 'unspecific' fetch methods (e.g. fetch_all_by_Slice, 
fetch_all_by_Population etc.) will exclude the failed ones by default. 
Also, a minor detail: you don't specify the flag on the object adaptor 
but on the db adaptor, i.e. 
$obj_adaptor->db->include_failed_variations() (since it's a global 
property that affects all object adaptors created for the connection).

I hope this is clear
