 # 242,818 variants from 18 MPRA studies, with both hg19 and hg38 coordinates.
 # 213,689 are hg19, 29,129 are hg38, 3,676 have no coordinates (NA).
 
 # Convert to BED, liftOver hg19->hg38, merge, and create bigBed:
 python3 ~/kent/src/hg/makeDb/scripts/mpravardb/mpravardbToBed.py
 # Output: mpravardb.bb (239,028 variants after liftOver, 114 unmapped)
