Guide¶

In-depth explanations of how UVID works.

Key Concepts -- linearized genome positions, string vs. length encoding modes, Rabin fingerprints, and UUIDv5 conversion
Bit Layout -- Mermaid packet diagrams showing the full 128-bit structure
VCF Passthrough -- annotating VCF files at scale
Normalization -- left-alignment and trimming for consistent variant representation
HGVS Notation -- bidirectional conversion between HGVS genomic notation and UVIDs
