  Description     : genetic variant annotation and effect prediction toolbox

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).

SnpEff analyzes the input variants. It annotates the variants and
calculates the effects they produce on known genes (e.g. amino acid
changes).


This software is needed in many workflows in the Debian-med team. It will be
maintained inside the team.
