What problem does it solve?
This Skill addresses the challenge of interpreting the functional impact of non-synonymous single nucleotide variants by aggregating diverse prediction scores and population frequencies into a unified, queryable format.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Unified Annotation: Integrates scores from tools like SIFT, PolyPhen-2, CADD, and REVEL alongside gnomAD and 1000 Genomes frequencies.
- Transcript-Specific Parsing: Automatically organizes transcript-specific scores into structured dictionaries keyed by Ensembl ID.
- Use Case: Researchers can use this to rapidly filter variants in a large cohort by pathogenicity rankscores, ensuring that only high-confidence, non-circularly trained predictors are prioritized for downstream analysis.
Quick Start
Use the dbnsfp skill to build a variant annotation table from the provided raw input file using the default GRCh38 reference genome.
