REVEL
Overview
REVEL is an ensemble method for predicting the pathogenicity of missense variants based on a combination of scores from 13 individual tools: MutPred, FATHMM v2.3, VEST 3.0, PolyPhen-2, SIFT, PROVEAN, MutationAssessor, MutationTaster, LRT, GERP++, SiPhy, phyloP, and phastCons.

Parsing
From the CSV file, we're mainly interested in the following columns:
chr
hg19_pos
grch38_pos
ref
alt
REVEL
Known Issues
Sorting
Since the input file contains positions for both GRCh37 and GRCh38, we split it into two TSV files (for the sake of better readability) with identical format. The positions for GRCh37 were sorted but not for GRCh38. So we re-sort the variants by position in the GRCh38 file.
Conflicting Scores
When there are multiple scores available for the same variant (i.e. the same position with the same alternative allele), we pick the highest score.
