 | chaos Annotation, analysis and visualization of variants from high-throughput sequencing experiments |
Introduction
CHAoS is a Perl-based system for annotation of variants identified in high-throughput sequencing experiments developed at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics (WTCHG).
Functionality includes annotation of variants with information relating to population genetics, known transcripts, positional records, and sequence motif-based prediction. In addition, annotated variants can be summarized and extracted to facilitate downstream analysis.
There is also basic support for gene-based biological annotation, and eventually will include tools for variant and genotype analysis and visualization.
