8 years ago Hi @david4096! Yes - this was an intentional ommission. The only way to get an id is to take it from the VariantAnnotation record and if you've already got the record you wouldn't want to look it up again as they don't change. We didn't consider it useful enough to add in this initial, minimal API version, but it's no problem to add the option for consistency of style.
What would be useful is a get lookup on variant id & annotation set id, but this will be a later addition.
There is a method for finding Variant Annotation Sets by their ID, but not Variant Annotations themselves. Is this intended?
