Dear community,

I am trying to decipher the information on the data (specifically v2g\_scored) available online and extract valuable information. While working on that, I have a few questions:

**1.** I can infer that source\_list and source\_score\_list are interconnected, however, I wanted to ask what do the numbers in the source\_score\_list represent exactly?

```
overall_score source_list source_score_list  

```

0 0.046479 [canonical\_tss] [0.7]  
1 0.086519 [vep, canonical\_tss] [0.1, 1.0]

**2.** Each genetic locus might appear several times, by capturing different pieces of information. I have found that one with position “958339”, ref\_allele = G, alt\_allele = A that has double information in the “source\_id”. In particular, when source\_id = canonical\_tss, the information is different. Why does this discrepancy occur? Please check the cells highlighted in blue.

**3.**

Assuming the following portion of the data

| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 | Column 4 | E | F | G | H | I |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| position | ref\_allele | alt\_allele | d | type\_id | source\_id | source\_list | source\_score\_list | feature |
| 958339 | G | A | 315525.0 | distance | canonical\_tss | [jung2019, javierre2016,canonical\_tss] | [0.0,0.6,0.4] | unspecified |
| 958339 | G | A | 8143.0 | distance | canonical\_tss | [eqtl, canonical\_tss] | [0.9, 1.0] | unspecified |

Could you help me by confirming whether the following JSON format captures every information correctly?

[  
{  
“distance”: 315525.0 ,  
“source\_scores”: {  
“javierre2016”: 0.0,  
“jung2019”: 0.6,  
“canonical\_tss”: 0.4  
}  
]

Thank you very much in advance!

Aglaia

Hi Aglaia,

Is this the full dataset? Are these rows for the same gene or different genes?

Best wishes,
