An off-by-one BED\nfile parses, sorts, and intersects without complaint. A GRCh37 VCF joined against\na GRCh38 annotation returns rows. A right-shifted indel simply fails to match its\nentry in ClinVar, and the result is a variant reported as novel. Nothing raises\nan error; the answer is just wrong, and it is wrong in a direction that looks\nplausible.\n\nSo: convert with the table, not from memory, and verify against the reference\nwhenever a reference is available.\n\n## The two conversions\n\n```\n1-based inclusive  ->  0-based half-open :  start - 1,  end\n0-based half-open  ->  1-based inclusive :  start + 1,  end\n```\n\nThese formulas apply to nonempty spans on the same reference and strand.

Transcript coordinates count spliced bases in transcription\norder — decreasing genomic coordinate on the minus strand — and `c.1` is the `A`\nof the initiator `ATG`, not the start of the transcript.\n\nThe rules that get mis-remembered: there is no `c.0`; 5' UTR positions are\nnegative and 3' UTR positions take a `*`; GFF phase counts bases to skip when locating the next\ncomplete codon within a CDS segment (retain them when joining coding exons), not `start % 3`; and a `c.` description is meaningless\nwithout a versioned transcript accession, because the same variant numbers\ndifferently in each transcript. `references\u002Ftranscript-coordinates.md` has the\nconversion procedure and the boundary cases.\n\nUse VEP, Mutalyzer, or the `hgvs` package with the matching transcript model\nfor HGVS conversion. `bcftools csq` annotates haplotype-aware coding effects; it\nis not a general genomic-to-HGVS converter.\n\n## Reporting results\n\nState the assembly next to the coordinates, every time.\n`chr7:5,530,601-5,530,625` is not a location; `chr7:5,530,601-5,530,625 (GRCh38)`\nis. Say which convention a coordinate column is in, in the column header or the\nfile's documentation. When a conversion produced a result, say which direction it\nwent.\n\n## Verified scope\n\nReviewed the current VCF 4.5, SAM\u002FBAM, CRAM 3, GFF3, UCSC, HGVS, Ensembl REST,\nand bcftools manuals on 2026-10-01. Bundled standard-library helpers are tested\non synthetic fixtures; normalization is cross-checked against bcftools 1.24.\nTranscript annotation and liftover tools are documented alternatives, not\nexecuted whole-genome workflows. Source links are in the references below.\n\n## References\n\n- `references\u002Fformat-conventions.md` — every format's convention, with per-format\n  detail, BED12 block rules, region-string syntax, and tool behaviour.\n- `references\u002Fvariant-representation.md` — VCF allele conventions, the\n  normalisation algorithm, equivalence checking, multi-allelic splitting, and how\n  HGVS disagrees with VCF.\n- `references\u002Freference-builds.md` — build signatures, GRCh37 vs hg19, ALT\n  contigs, naming schemes, and liftover failure modes.\n- `references\u002Ftranscript-coordinates.md` — genomic ↔ transcript ↔ CDS ↔ protein,\n  HGVS numbering, phase, and transcript choice.\n\n## Citing Scientific Agent Skills\n\nThis skill is part of Scientific Agent Skills by K-Dense.
