Ensemble Variant Effect Predictor

Ensemble Variant Effect Predictor

Ensembl Variant Effect Predictor predicts the effects of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs), copy number variation (CNV), and indels on genes, transcripts, protein, and regulatory sequences.

Topic

Genetics; Genetic variation; Function analysis; Genomics

Details

  • Operation: Protein modelling (mutation)
  • Input: A:
    1. chromosome - just the name or number, with no 'chr' prefix
    2. start
    3. end
    4. allele - pair of alleles separated by a '/', with the reference allele first
    5. strand - defined as + (forward) or - (reverse).
    6. identifier - this identifier will be used in VEP's output. If not provided, VEP will construct an identifier from the given coordinates and alleles.
    B:VCF; VCF - Structural variants; HGVS identifiers; Variant identifiers; Genomic SPDI notation; REST-style regions
