  mat,
  chromosome_col = "chr",
  start_col = "start",
  end_col = "end",

)

`mat`	An object that inherits from classes "matrix" or "data.frame" Examples include a matrix, data.frame, or data.table.
`chromosome_col`	The name of the column that contains the chromosome reference for each variant. Default `"Chromosome"`.
`start_col`	The name of the column that contains the start position for each variant. Default `"Start_Position"`.
`end_col`	The name of the column that contains the end position for each variant. Default `"End_Position"`.
`ref_col`	The name of the column that contains the reference base(s) for each variant. Default `"Tumor_Seq_Allele1"`.
`alt_col`	The name of the column that contains the alternative base(s) for each variant. Default `"Tumor_Seq_Allele2"`.
`sample_col`	The name of the column that contains the sample id for each variant. Default `"Tumor_Sample_Barcode"`.
`extra_fields`	Optionally extract additional columns from the object. Default `NULL`.

Returns a data.table of variants from a maf which can be used to create a bagel object.
