Support structural variants #227

@ovesh

Description

@ovesh

Currently small variants are supported as gk.Variant(chrom, position, position, ref, alt, reference_genome).

There are large variants in the human genome (i.e. thousands of bps):

  • Copy number variants
  • Deletions
  • Insertions
  • Translocations (this might be the trickiest since it's inter-chromosomal)
  • Inversions on the same chromosome

It would be great to support these types of variants and be able to call genome.dna(interval) - but I realize this would be very difficult in terms of coordinates.
