Good test. Yes that fails too.
"select R from R in class Rearrangement where exists_tag R->2_point" gives
"AQL error 700 around: '_tag R->2_point"
Positive controls:
1.
"select R from R in class Rearrangement where exists_tag R->pos_neg_data"
works fine.
2.
In the Wormbase Query Language Search,
http://www.wormbase.org/db/searches/wb_query, "find rearrangement 2_point"
works fine.
