PomBase VEP

PomBase VEP annotates and prioritizes genomic variants across coding and non-coding regions to support interpretation of variant consequences.

Key Features:

• Ensembl Variant Effect Predictor (VEP) basis: Implements the Ensembl Variant Effect Predictor (VEP) functionality for variant consequence annotation and prioritization.
• Variant types covered: Performs analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and other genomic variants in both coding and non-coding regions.
• Genomic annotations: Leverages an extensive collection of genomic annotations to inform consequence prediction.
• Consequence export: Exports files that detail consequence types associated with annotated variants.
• Reproducibility: Produces reproducible annotation outputs suitable for comparison across studies.

Scientific Applications:

• Genomic studies: Provides precise variant annotation for genome-wide and targeted studies.
• Personalized medicine: Aids interpretation of variants for clinical assessment and patient-specific analyses.
• Evolutionary biology: Supports analyses of variant effects relevant to evolutionary and population genetics questions.
• Functional genomics: Facilitates prioritization of variants for experimental validation in functional studies.

Methodology:

Accepts uploaded sets of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a standardized format, leverages genomic annotations to assign consequence types, and exports files detailing those consequence annotations.
