Broad GSC Variant Call Description


broad.mit.edu_<disease study>.<platform>.<archive type>.<serial index>.<revision>.0.tar.gz

For Broad Institute GSC submissions, the serial index has additional meaning:
0 -- Automated Archive ... The calls inside the given archive were generated automatically.  No analyst has curated the results.
1 -- Reviewed Archive ... The calls have been reviewed and curated by an analyst.

Generally, for a given disease study, Automated Archives (0) will include the latest samples.  Reviewed Archives (1) may include fewer samples, but, since the calls have been reviewed, calls for a given sample should supersede those in an Automated Archive.
This guideline applies to both maf and vcf files.
