| + | Left alignment of a variant generally mean shifting the start position of that variant to the left till it is no longer possible to do so. It is a concept associated with insertion and deletion variants. In order to further differentiate left alignment from simply left padding a variant, the definition is as follows: |
| | | |
| A variant is left aligned if it is no longer possible to shift its position to the left while keeping the length of all alleles constant. | | A variant is left aligned if it is no longer possible to shift its position to the left while keeping the length of all alleles constant. |
