Description

This is important for read group tags, as it influences genotyping models.

eager1/eager2 hardcoded illumina, which is not yet valid anymore due to rising use of MGI sequencers (as previously reported by @ashildv )

Research direction

Start by tracing how the input TSV is parsed and how its read group tags reach the genotyping models. Use the linked pull-request discussion for context on the platform values and existing hardcoded Illumina behavior. Done means the input can specify the sequencing platform and that value is used instead of assuming Illumina.
