SNiPA v3.4 – a tool for Annotating and Browsing Genetic Variants

SNiPA v3.4

:: DESCRIPTION

SNiPA offers both functional annotations and linkage disequilibrium information for bi-allelic genomic variants (SNPs and SNVs). SNiPA combines LD data based on the 1000 Genomes Project with various annotation layers, such as gene annotations, phenotypic trait associations, and expression-/metabolic quantitative trait loci.

HMMvar 1.1.0 / HMMvar-multi / HMMvar-func – Functional Effects of Variants in Coding Regions

HMMvar 1.1.0 / HMMvar-multi / HMMvar-funcnc

:: DESCRIPTION

HMMvar: Small indels account for the second largest portion of human variants, however, available methods for indel functional predictions, no matter in coding or noncoding regions, are many fewer compared to those for SNPs. We developed HMMvar for predicting the functional effects of both SNPs and indels in coding regions of sequences.

HMMvar-multi: Complex diseases are likely to be caused by multiple genes and/or multiple mutations on individual genes, so quantitively measuring the effect of multiple variants together should be helpful for detecting causal genes/mutations for diseases. HMMvar-multi predicts the functional effects of multiple variants in the same gene based on HMMvar.

HMMvar-func is a new method for predicting the functional outcome of mutations in coding regions.
