"bonus" points:
* text/TSV data files made public as a requirement from the published articles may have spaces or dots in column names, missing line ends, non-unique row IDs, etc.
* there is no limit as how many records can be stored in a single file. Latest dbSNP has more than 1000 millions of rows.
* bunch of formats (GFF, GTF, VCF) has several TSV delimited "proper" columns (as: 1 value) and then special column where optional fields are piled in a different format, with another separator, field names etc. Real fun to parse...
