IG: Allow filtering using Aggregation columns

jussi.volanen Public · Sep 11 2023

Idea Summary
In IG, in addition to filtering using regular columns, also allow filtering using aggregations. The aggregation filters should be applied after first applying the regular filters.

Use Case
Filtering using aggregation allows use cases not possible with the current filters. In genetics, for example, end users would like to find compound heterotsygous genes as follows:

  • filter variants using the existing IG filters
  • add control break (gene) to allow compound heterotsygous analysis
  • add aggregation “count(variant)”
  • filter genes using “count(variant) > 1”
We reviewed this idea carefully, and while it was interesting, we concluded that due to all the internal implications we need to take into account, it is unlikely to make its way into APEX.
