[ensembl-dev] N in motif issue

[Konrad Karczewski]

Hi Ensembl/VEP team,

Another corner case variant (yay!), though this one doesn't look as bad (or at least is obvious what's going on). Found the following variant (don't ask how):

2	92326168	.	G	T

http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTracks?db=hg19&highlight=hg19.chr2%3A92326168-92326168&position=chr2%3A92326123-92326212 <http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTracks?db=hg19&highlight=hg19.chr2:92326168-92326168&position=chr2:92326123-92326212>

that happens to sit near a bunch of N's in the reference genome, which is throwing an error (I'm guessing in looking for motifs) as shown below.
