Origin of genomic coordinates. Genomic coordinates of sequence contained within the variant file are made in reference to a genomic build/reference and assigned based on a 5′ to 3′ numbering of the positive strand. Genomic coordinates can change during major updates to the reference assembly, as illustrated in comparing GRCh37 to GRCh38.
