摘要: As high throughput methods, such as whole genome genotyping arrays, exome sequencing (WES) and (WGS), have detected huge amounts of genetic variants associated with human diseases, function annotation these is an indispensable step in understanding disease etiology. Large-scale functional genomics projects, The ENCODE Project Roadmap Epigenomics Project, provide genome-wide profiling elements across different cell types tissues. With the urgent demands for identification disease-causal variants, comprehensive easy-to-use tool highly demand. Here we review discuss current progress trend variant field. Furthermore, introduce a web portal annotating variants. We use gene-based features latest datasets to annotate single nucleotide variation (SNVs) human, at scale. further apply several prediction algorithms SNVs that might affect biological processes, including transcriptional gene regulation, alternative splicing, post-transcriptional translation post-translational modifications.
