[ensembl-dev] VEP output with regulatory feature & conservation plugin

Hello,

Some variants are parsed by the VEP as structural variants, and these are
treated subtly differently as typically they are much larger than regular
sequence variants.

To enable your plugin to process both types, you should use:

return ['BaseVariationFeature'];

or for just structural variants

return ['StructuralVariationFeature'];

Regards

Will
