About this Class

Dear Colleagues,

  

This presentation will provide an overview of OpenCRAVAT.

 

Annotation and interpretation of cancer variants is critical to the design of personalized molecular therapies, and to clinicians working in genetic testing labs and molecular tumor boards. Hundreds of interpretation tools are available, but they are dispersed, and many are proprietary and expensive.

OpenCRAVAT is an easy-to-use, open source, integrated annotator with 160+ modular tools. With a professional quality GUI, easy installation, and local, web, and cloud versions, it makes high-throughput variant annotation accessible to both researchers and clinicians.
