Abstract Summary: VariantAnnotation is an R / Bioconductor package for the exploration and annotation of genetic variants. Capabilities exist reading, writing filtering variant call format (VCF) files. allows ready access to additional facilities advanced statistical analysis, data transformation, visualization integration with diverse genomic resources. Availability implementation: This implemented in available download at Web site ( http://bioconductor.org/packages/2.13/bioc/html/ .html ). The contains extensive help pages individual functions a ‘vignette’ outlining typical work flows; it made under open source ‘Artistic-2.0’ license. Version 1.9.38 was used this article.
