We have thus arrived at a new complication described in https://github.com/CSCfi/beacon-python/issues/24.\r\n\r\nIn some cases the reference bases may have multiple alternate alleles. The specification doesn't offer a direct solution to this issue, and the quickest solution we came up with, is to add these fields into the `info` key of the `datasetAlleleResponses` object.\r\n\r\nShould we carry on with this solution, or should these fields be added into the response object, as they are quite important in **all** wildcard queries?\r\n\r\n#### Choices\r\n\r\n1. Feature request: Update specification to support differentiation of wildcard responses, namely the `datasetAlleleResponses` should contain these two values that reflect the wildcard results (RECOMMENDED);\r\n2. Keep specification as it is and handle wildcard differentiation in the `info` key."}}
