varFreqs: add Top 3 source AFs to mouseOvers; audit excludes SGDP and SVatalog. refs #36642
Adds a Top 3 source AFs ranking to the varFreqsAffected and varFreqsBackground
mouseOvers. Alongside the pooled allele frequency, the mouseOver now lists the
three cohorts/arms with the highest per-source AF, formatted as
"Source (AF), Source (AF), Source (AF)". Disease cohorts with phenotype splits
carry the arm label (SPARK ASD, SCHEMA case, GREGoR unaffected); population
cohorts use the bare key. Per-population sub-ancestries are deliberately
excluded so a high sub-pop AF cannot crowd out actual project-level signals.
vcfToBigBed.py adds a top_n_source_afs helper, collects per-arm AFs into
affected_arm_afs / background_arm_afs, and emits two new fields
topAffectedSources and topBackgroundSources. AS schema field count 163 -> 165.
An AF-distribution sweep across all 28 source cohorts identified SGDP and
SVatalog as encoding allele counts per genotyped individual (small N, AF
defaults near 0.5), making their per-source AF unreliable for the ranking.
Adds a skip_top_ranking column (col 9) to databases.tsv, set to 1 for SGDP
and SVatalog, and gates the per-arm AF append in vcfToBigBed.py on this
flag. Both cohorts still contribute to pooled backgroundAC/AN/AF and still
appear in backgroundSources; they are only suppressed from the Top 3.
Description pages varFreqsAffected.html and varFreqsBackground.html document
the ranking; the latter also documents the SGDP/SVatalog exclusion. Build
documentation in varFreqs.txt is updated.
