Geneticists agree to this old Monty Python joke.. + Even twins, who are said to be identical are on a molecular + level only "mostly" identical. And even within the exact same individual, + healthy cells acquire mutations such that we are all genetic mosaics. + This happens upon environmental factors, e.g. like UV light, but also + as random mishaps during cellular divisions. + . + Because there are so many genetic differences, and most have just no + particular meaning for the development of a phenotype, i.e. most have no + effect, it would be nice to have heuristics implemented that direct the + researcher towards single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are most + likely to be relevant. This identifies the gene that causes or contributes + to, e.g, an illness, and possibly also genes that are affected by that + change. Such mechanistic understanding of a disease, particularly when + multiple genes and multiple genetic variants are contributing to the + then "polgygenic" phenotype, is at the onset of drug development and + increasingly also for selecting individualize therapies in the clinic. + . SnpEff is a variant annotation and effect prediction tool. It annotates and predicts the effects of variants on genes (such as amino acid changes). - . The inputs are predicted variants (SNPs, insertions, deletions and MNPs). The input file is usually obtained as a result of a sequencing experiment, and it is usually in variant call format (VCF).
