VARAN-GIE: curation of genomic interval sets
1Children's Cancer Research Institute, St. Anna Kinderkrebsforschung, Zimmermannplatz 10, Vienna, Austria.
Summary:
Genomic interval sets are fundamental elements of genome annotation and are the output of countless bioinformatics applications. Nevertheless, tool support for the manual curation of these data is currently limited. We developed VARAN-GIE, an extension of the popular Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV) that adds functionality to edit, annotate and merge genomic interval sets. Data can easily be shared with other users and imported/exported from/to multiple common data formats.
Availability And Implementation:
VARAN-GIE binary releases, source-code, user guides and tutorials are available at https://github.com/popitsch/varan-gie/.

Prediction Intervals
However, the point estimate is most likely not the exact value of the population parameter, but close to it. After calculating point estimates, we construct interval estimates, called confidence intervals or prediction intervals. This prediction interval comprises a range of values unlike the point estimate and is a better predictor of the observed sample value, y.

Interval Level of Measurement
Data measured using the interval scale are similar to ordinal level data because they have a definite arrangement. However, in the interval level of measurement, the differences between data values are meaningful even though the data does not have a starting point.
Temperature is measured using the interval scale. It is measurable data, and the difference between...
Interpretation of Confidence Intervals
Confidence intervals have confidence coefficients that are crucial for their interpretation. The most common confidence coefficients are 0.90, 0.95, and 0.99, which can be written as percentages–90%, 95%, and 99%, respectively.
Suppose a person calculates a confidence interval with a confidence coefficient of 0.95. In that case, they can...
