surface "MANE Preferred" tag through API

[obigriffith]

There are now Transcript Alleles for some AR records with the "MANE Preferred" tag. Very cool. Could this information also be made available through the API?

This information is not directly available for a given variant from /allele GET path. However, you can use our /gene GET path to access it.

For example:

Consider a variant with HGVS expression: NM_001610.4:c.342T>G

Now look at one of the many transcript variants:

{ "coordinates": [ { "allele": "G", "end": 400, "referenceAllele": "T", "start": 399 } ], "gene": "http://reg.genome.network/gene/GN000123", "geneNCBI_id": 53, "geneSymbol": "ACP2", "hgvs": [ "NM_001302491.1:c.342T>G" ], "proteinEffect": { "hgvs": "NP_001289420.1:p.Ala114=" }, "referenceSequence": "http://reg.genome.network/refseq/RS025291" }

Note:
"gene": "http://reg.genome.network/gene/GN000123"

When you dereference this gene URI, you will find MANE preferred transcript:

{ "@context": "http://reg.genome.network/schema/gene.jsonld", "@id": "http://reg.genome.network/gene/GN000123", "externalRecords": { "HGNC": { "@id": "http://www.genenames.org/cgi-bin/gene_symbol_report?hgnc_id=HGNC:123", "id": "HGNC:123", "name": "acid phosphatase 2, lysosomal", "symbol": "ACP2" }, "NCBI": { "@id": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/53", "id": 53 }, "MANEPrefRefSeq": { "@id": "https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/NM_001610.4", "id": "NM_001610.4" } } }

You can directly query the /gene path if you know the Gene Symbol to get MANE preferred transcript.
