# Genomics API . annotations

## Instance Methods

Creates one or more new annotations atomically. All annotations must belong to the same annotation set. Caller must have WRITE permission for this annotation set. For optimal performance, batch positionally adjacent annotations together.

Creates a new annotation. Caller must have WRITE permission for the associated annotation set.

Deletes an annotation. Caller must have WRITE permission for the associated annotation set.

Gets an annotation. Caller must have READ permission for the associated annotation set.

Updates an annotation. The update must respect all mutability restrictions and other invariants described on the annotation resource. Caller must have WRITE permission for the associated dataset. This method supports patch semantics.

Searches for annotations which match the given criteria. Results are returned ordered by start position. Annotations which have matching start positions are ordered deterministically. Caller must have READ permission for the queried annotation sets.

Updates an annotation. The update must respect all mutability restrictions and other invariants described on the annotation resource. Caller must have WRITE permission for the associated dataset.

### Method Details

`batchCreate(body)`

    Creates one or more new annotations atomically. All annotations must belong to the same annotation set. Caller must have WRITE permission for this annotation set. For optimal performance, batch positionally adjacent annotations together.

    If the request has a systemic issue, such as an attempt to write to an inaccessible annotation set, the entire RPC will fail accordingly. For lesser data issues, when possible an error will be isolated to the corresponding batch entry in the response; the remaining well formed annotations will be created normally.

`search(body)`

    Searches for annotations which match the given criteria. Results are returned ordered by start position. Annotations which have matching start positions are ordered deterministically. Caller must have READ permission for the queried annotation sets.

        The object takes the form of:

          "end": "A String", # The end position of the range on the reference, 0-based exclusive. If specified, referenceId or referenceName must also be specified. If unset or 0, defaults to the length of the reference.
