CRAVAT - Cancer-Related Analysis of Variants Toolkit
Category
Published on
Abstract
cravat is a bioinformatics pipeline : ; that performs high-throughput cancer-related analysis of variants. it : ; utilizes three applications: CHASM (Cancer-Specific Analysis of Somatic Mutations), VEST and SVN-Get. More information on these tools is available at CHASM Software.
Release Notes:
CRAVAT v3.2
May 12, 2015
- Added RESTful API for annotating a single mutation.
- Added analytical p-values for VEST pathogenicity scores for non-silent mutations.
- Added gene-level p-value and FDR for VEST pathogenicity score based on Stouffer's Z-score method
- Added indel scores.
- Added mutation allele frequencies from Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) release 0.3.
- Added input line number to the report.
- Added a report tab for non-coding mutations.
- Added a report tab for errorneous input lines.
- Removed the Codon Level report tab.
- CRAVAT can now show both driver (CHASM) and pathogenicity (VEST) scores at the same time.
- Updated VCF support (sequencing quality metrics, zygosity, and pileup coverage and allele frequency).
- Updated 1000 genomes annotation with Phase3 sequence freeze 20130502 (Includes chromosome Y variants).
- Updated ESP6500 annotation with version v0.0.30 (Includes chromosome Y variants).
- Updated GeneCards summary annotation.
- Updated MuPIT link out according to the new release of MuPIT Interactive.
- Improved report layout.
- Improved speed with pre-computation of VEST scores for all possible exome mutations.
- Fixed bugs.
