Format

{ dictionary,

"variants": [ list of strings ]

}

Description

The descriptor contains information about zones state. It is used in request zone_list as return value, either in single or serial form;

In serial form variants is dropped.

Property title is used for rendering.

In current version the following zones are provided:

title	zone
Gene	Symbol
Gene List	Gene_Lists
Sample	Has_Variant
Tag	_tags
Cohort	Variant_in	in special cases

Property zone is hidden for the user, usually it corresponds to name of unit, filtering property. So the extended Front-End application logic can collect information about zones not only by zone_list but by statunits al well, using zone attribute as unit name.

The exceptional zone is tags, "_tags": tags must not be filtering property, but request statunits provides special support for this name and this logic.
