genomic-coordinates

From the author

Converts genomic intervals between coordinate conventions, normalises and compares variant representations, and detects assembly or contig-naming mismatches before they corrupt an analysis. Used whenever coordinates cross a format, tool, or assembly boundary - converting between BED, GFF/GTF, VCF, SAM/BAM, WIG, PSL, genePred, Picard interval_list, or region strings; reconciling 0-based half-open with 1-based inclusive; left-aligning or trimming indels; checking whether two variant records describe the same change; mapping genomic to transcript, CDS, or protein positions; auditing a BED/GTF/VCF for convention violations; or diagnosing GRCh37 vs hg19 vs GRCh38 vs T2T, chr-prefix, and liftover problems. Triggers include "off by one", "0-based", "1-based", "half-open", "coordinate system", "left-align", "normalize variant", "bcftools norm", "chr prefix", "wrong genome build", "liftover", "REF mismatch", and "HGVS".
