An open source tool for human genetic variant annotation

To enable interpretation of a variant's impact, Varant provides 5 categories of annotation, based on: variant identity and frequency, experimentally-defined genomic features, predicted genomic features, variant/gene phenotypes, and prediction of mutation impact (figure below).
