feature request: adding new annotator to already annotated vcf

[antonkulaga]

When I annotated the genome with N annotators and then discover that I need one more annotator I have to run a separate job with N+1 annotators.
Based on my and my teammate's experience it is a head-ache. Maybe you can add an option to add compute with new annotators without reannotating with annotators that were already used before? It can save users a lot of time.

@antonkulaga With the current latest version of OakVar, the following is possible.

ov run input.vcf -a clinvar
This will generate input.vcf.sqlite.

ov run input.vcf.sqlite -a biogrid
This will add biogrid annotation to input.vcf.sqlite.

ov run input.vcf.sqlite -a cosmic -t vcf
This will add cosmic annotation to input.vcf.sqlite and generate input.vcf.vcf with the clinvar, biogrid, and cosmic annotation.

Would this work in your use case?

We need this to be in the GUI as we mostly run annnotations from it, especially Olga as she is not a software developer

Ok. I'll add it to the GUI.
