OpenCRAVAT: A tool with robust data resources and computational prediction methods

About this Class

OpenCRAVAT is an open source variant annotation and decision support software to support cancer variant and gene prioritization. It offers both command line functionality and a dynamic biologist-friendly GUI, allowing users to install with a single command, easily download tools from an extensive app store, create custom pipelines and explore results in a richly detailed viewing environment. OpenCRAVAT is distinguished from similar tools by the amount and diversity of data resources and computational prediction methods available, which span germline, somatic, common, rare, coding and non-coding variants. The open and modular OpenCRAVAT software and app store are designed to increase contributions from developers and researchers, and we are growing monthly to meet diverse research needs.
