# Genomics API . variantsets

## Instance Methods

Creates a new variant set.

Note that the `id` field will be ignored, as this is assigned by the server.

Deletes the contents of a variant set. The variant set object is not deleted. For the definitions of variant sets and other genomics resources, see [Fundamentals of Google Genomics](https://cloud.google.com/genomics/fundamentals-of-google-genomics)

Exports variant set data to an external destination. For the definitions of variant sets and other genomics resources, see [Fundamentals of Google Genomics](https://cloud.google.com/genomics/fundamentals-of-google-genomics)

Gets a variant set by ID. For the definitions of variant sets and other genomics resources, see [Fundamentals of Google Genomics](https://cloud.google.com/genomics/fundamentals-of-google-genomics)

          "a_key": "", # Properties of the object. Contains field @ype with type URL.
        },
        "error": { # The `Status` type defines a logical error model that is suitable for different programming environments, including REST APIs and RPC APIs. It is used by [gRPC](https://github.com/grpc). The error model is designed to be: - Simple to use and understand for most users - Flexible enough to meet unexpected needs # Overview The `Status` message contains three pieces of data: error code, error message, and error details. The error code should be an enum value of google.rpc.Code, but it may accept additional error codes if needed. The error message should be a developer-facing English message that helps developers *understand* and *resolve* the error. If a localized user-facing error message is needed, put the localized message in the error details or localize it in the client. The optional error details may contain arbitrary information about the error. There is a predefined set of error detail types in the package `google.rpc` which can be used for common error conditions. # Language mapping The `Status` message is the logical representation of the error model, but it is not necessarily the actual wire format. When the `Status` message is exposed in different client libraries and different wire protocols, it can be mapped differently. For example, it will likely be mapped to some exceptions in Java, but more likely mapped to some error codes in C. # Other uses The error model and the `Status` message can be used in a variety of environments, either with or without APIs, to provide a consistent developer experience across different environments. Example uses of this error model include: - Partial errors. If a service needs to return partial errors to the client, it may embed the `Status` in the normal response to indicate the partial errors. - Workflow errors. A typical workflow has multiple steps. Each step may have a `Status` message for error reporting purpose. - Batch operations. If a client uses batch request and batch response, the `Status` message should be used directly inside batch response, one for each error sub-response. - Asynchronous operations. If an API call embeds asynchronous operation results in its response, the status of those operations should be represented directly using the `Status` message. - Logging. If some API errors are stored in logs, the message `Status` could be used directly after any stripping needed for security/privacy reasons. # The error result of the operation in case of failure.

The reference set describes the alignment provenance of the variant set, while the `referenceBounds` describe the shape of the actual variant data. The reference set's reference names are a superset of those found in the `referenceBounds`. For example, given a variant set that is mapped to the GRCh38 reference set and contains a single variant on reference 'X', `referenceBounds` would contain only an entry for 'X', while the associated reference set enumerates all possible references: '1', '2', 'X', 'Y', 'MT', etc.
            "id": "A String", # The server-generated variant set ID, unique across all variant sets.
            "datasetId": "A String", # The dataset to which this variant set belongs.
            "referenceBounds": [ # A list of all references used by the variants in a variant set with associated coordinate upper bounds for each one.
              { # ReferenceBound records an upper bound for the starting coordinate of variants in a particular reference.
                "upperBound": "A String", # An upper bound (inclusive) on the starting coordinate of any variant in the reference sequence.
                "referenceName": "A String", # The name of the reference associated with this reference bound.
