    Display Conventions and Configuration

    There are two "groups" of tracks in this set, and four gnomAD versions (v2.1.1, v4.0, v4.1, and v4.1.1):

    1. Gene/Transcript LoF Constraint tracks: Predicted constraint metrics at the whole gene level or whole transcript level for three different types of variation: missense, synonymous, and predicted loss of function. The Gene Constraint track displays metrics for a canonical transcript per gene defined as the longest isoform. The Transcript Constraint track displays - metrics for all transcript isoforms. Items on both tracks are shaded according to the pLI score, - with outlier items shaded in grey. + metrics for all transcript isoforms. Items on both tracks are shaded according to the LOEUF score + (the upper bound of the O/E confidence interval, see Methods below) with outlier items shaded in + grey.

      Please note there is no gene-level track available for v4.0, v4.1, or v4.1.1.
    2. Gene/Transcript Missense Constraint tracks: The missense constraint tracks are built similarly to the LoF constraint tracks, however the items displayed are based on missense Z scores. - All items are colored black, and individual Z scores can be seen on mouseover. + Items are colored red when the missense Z-score exceeds 3.09, and black otherwise; individual Z + scores can be seen on mouseover.
    All tracks follow the general configuration settings for bigBed tracks. Mouseover on the Gene/Transcript Constraint tracks shows the pLI score and the loss of function observed/expected upper bound fraction (LOEUF), while mouseover on the Regional Constraint track shows only the missense O/E ratio. Clicking on items in any track brings up a table of constraint metrics.

    Clicking the grey box to the left of the track, or right-clicking and choosing the Configure option, brings up the interface for filtering items based on their pLI score, or labeling the items based on their Ensembl identifier and/or Gene Name.

    Constraint and Gene Quality Flags (v4.1.1)

    -The underlying per-transcript coverage and mapping statistics used to derive these flags -(proportion of bases with allele number at or above 90% of the maximum, mean allele-specific -mapping quality, and proportion of the transcript overlapping segmental duplications or -low-complexity regions) are also shown on the item details page.

    Transcripts Included

    For version 2.1.1 only, the GENCODE transcripts were filtered according to the following criteria:

    For version v2.1.1, the gnomAD gene/transcript data is based on hg19. In order to map transcripts and genes to the hg38 genome the following steps were taken:

In order to map the transcripts to hg38, the transcript version numbers in the gnomAD download file were joined with GENCODE V39 and NCBI RefSeq coordinates available at UCSC.

    Gene and Transcript Constraint tracks

    Per gene and per transcript data were downloaded from the gnomAD Google Storage bucket:

     gs://gnomad-public/release/2.1.1/constraint/gnomad.v2.1.1.lof_metrics.by_gene.txt.bgz
     gs://gnomad-public/release/2.1.1/constraint/gnomad.v2.1.1.lof_metrics.by_transcript.txt.bgz
     
    These data were then joined to the Gencode set of genes/transcripts available at the UCSC Genome Browser (see previous section) and then transformed into a bigBed 12+5. For the full list of commands used to
