## Instance Methods

Lists the bases in a reference, optionally restricted to a range.

Retrieves the next page of results.

### Method Details

`list(referenceId, end=None, pageSize=None, start=None, pageToken=None, x__xgafv=None)`

    Lists the bases in a reference, optionally restricted to a range.

    Implements
    [GlobalAllianceApi.getReferenceBases](https://github.com/ga4gh/schemas/blob/v0.5.1/src/main/resources/avro/referencemethods.avdl#L221).

    Args:
      referenceId: string, The ID of the reference. (required)
      end: string, The end position (0-based, exclusive) of this query. Defaults to the length
    of this reference.
      pageSize: integer, The maximum number of bases to return in a single page. If unspecified,
    defaults to 200Kbp (kilo base pairs). The maximum value is 10Mbp (mega base
    pairs).
      start: string, The start position (0-based) of this query. Defaults to 0.
      pageToken: string, The continuation token, which is used to page through large result sets.
    To get the next page of results, set this parameter to the value of
    `nextPageToken` from the previous response.
      x__xgafv: string, V1 error format.
        Allowed values
          1 - v1 error format
          2 - v2 error format

    Returns:
      An object of the form:

        {
        "nextPageToken": "A String", # The continuation token, which is used to page through large result sets.
            # Provide this value in a subsequent request to return the next page of
            # results. This field will be empty if there aren't any additional results.
        "offset": "A String", # The offset position (0-based) of the given `sequence` from the
            # start of this `Reference`. This value will differ for each page
            # in a paginated request.
        "sequence": "A String", # A substring of the bases that make up this reference.
      }

`list_next(previous_request, previous_response)`

    Retrieves the next page of results.

    Args:
      previous_request: The request for the previous page. (required)
      previous_response: The response from the request for the previous page. (required)

    Returns:
      A request object that you can call 'execute()' on to request the next
      page. Returns None if there are no more items in the collection.
