[ensembl-dev] RegulatoryFeatures in VEP v79?

[Daniel Zerbino]

Wait a minute, *none* of them do? That's something else entirely...

Now, ExAC is a somewhat biased set in that it is pulled down from exon 
sequencing, and a difference between the old and the new build is that 
regions with the histone marks associated to transcription are no longer 
annotated as "regulatory". This is what you see at your locus 1:13372, 
on e75, where there used to be mostly "gene associated" annotations 
across cell types.

However, 0 hits across 10M sounds very suspicious. For example, the 
locus you describe happens to be on the edge of a CTCF feature (the 
actual binding site is a bit farther on the 5'), so it should 
technically have been reported.

We'll investigate...
