TransVar

TransVar is a multi-way annotator for genetic elements and genetic variations.

It operates on genomic coordinates (e.g., chr3:g.178936091G>A) and transcript-dependent cDNA as well as protein coordinates (e.g., PIK3CA:p.E545K or PIK3CA:c.1633G>A, or NM_006218.2:p.E545K, or NP_006266.2:p.G240Afs*50), and was designed to resolve ambiguous mutation annotations arising from differential transcript usage.

TransVar supports

  • HGVS nomenclature
  • both left-alignment and right-alignment convention in reporting indels.
  • annotation of a region based on a transcript dependent characterization
  • single nucleotide variation (SNV), insertions and deletions (indels) and block substitutions
  • mutations at both coding region and intronic/UTR regions
  • transcript annotation from commonly-used databases such as Ensembl, NCBI RefSeq and GENCODE etc
  • UniProt protein id as transcript id
  • GRCh36, 37, 38
  • forward annotation.
