+title: VariantRangeRequest
+description: >-
+  A request for matching variants in a genomic range. This request type requires
+  to provide *exactly* 1 `start` and 1 `end` position, which are both 0-based and
+  define the base range with which variants should be associated. The exact way
+  of variant association (e.g. complete or partial overlap or even proximity) is 
+  being left to the individual implementations and use cases.
+  Beacon version: v2.0
+  Future considerations: There are some inherited ambiguities
+  * `assemblyId` and `referenceName` should be deprectated in favour of a versioned
+    `sequenceId`
+  * the shared use of the `start` and `end` parameters for both base positions and
+    bracket positions is not ideal - here addressed by the `sequencePosition` type
+    but still existing in parameters
+type: object
+required:
+  - referenceName
+  - start
+  - end
