Lack of an existing "somatic event ID" to tie DNA and RNA data together a.o.

Lack of an existing "somatic event ID" to tie DNA and RNA data together...eventually methylation data, etc. This actually surfaced today as a primary complaint from another project, as when they do molecular subtyping, it's causing conflict not being able to resolve multiple samples per patient.

Priority:

• High

Desired solution:

• Unified and clear interface for getting a unique "somatic event id" for any given sample id

Preferred or recommended technical approach:

DoD:

Questions

• How does the current mapping process look like? We need to map the different scenarios.

Ideas

• Maybe we can come up with a well-defined central "somatic event id" process that is configurable per study?

Progress update: @forus is going through the docs and the code to get a clear picture of the complete process, the exceptions, edge-cases, etc
