Research direction

Start by reading the linked VRS paper, especially figure 3, to understand the inter-base interval model proposed for mutations. Then locate the primary Interval type in seqlib and assess the project-wide changes needed to adopt that representation. Done means the primary type consistently uses inter-base semantics and its affected behavior is validated.
