Hello Matthieu,

I've been using VEP overnight with a more extense dataset. I've 
annotated more than 40k variants and conservation score is being always 
reported as empty ("-")

Currently the "script" I'm using is Conservation.pm plugin provided in 
VEP repository:
https://github.com/ensembl-variation/VEP_plugins/blob/master/Conservation.pm

Only problem I see is use of MethodLinkSpeciesSet which is deprecated in 
current version.
