There are two formats supported for variants: VCF and BEDPE.

VCF

.vcf or .vcf.gz are both fine.

Upload a VCF of structural variants

Or, load a VCF from a URL

Bedpe

Upload a bedpe file of structural variants

Instructions: Some variant callers produce bedpe files, so you can load that instead of a VCF. The bedpe file should have the following columns (comma or tab separated both work).

Here's an example:

chrom1,start1,stop1,chrom2,start2,stop2,variant_name,score,strand1,strand2,variant_type,split
