SnpEff is a variant annotation and effect prediction tool. It annotates and predicts the effects of genetic variants (such as amino acid changes). 

A typical SnpEff use case would be:
-Input: 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).
-Output: SnpEff analyzes the input variants. It annotates the variants and calculates the effects they produce on known genes (e.g. amino acid changes).

How to Use This Sample

If you haven't used the workflow samples in UGENE before, look at the "How to Use Sample Workflows" section of the documentation.

Workflow Wizard

The wizard has 3 pages.

  1. Input Variations: On this page you must input variations file(s).  



  2. Change chromosome notation for variations: On this page you can change the chromosome notation for variations.  



    The following parameters are available:

    Replace prefixesInput the list of chromosome prefixes that you would like to replace. For example "NC_000". Separate different prefixes by semicolons.
    Replace byInput the prefix that should be set instead, for example "chr".
  3. SnpEff Parameters: On this page you can modify SnpEff parameters.  


    The following parameters are available:

    GenomeSelect the target genome. Genome data will be downloaded if it is not found.
    Cannonical transcriptsUse only cannonical transcripts
    HGVS nomenclatureAnnotate using HGVS nomenclature

    Annotate Loss of function

    Annotate Loss of function (LOF) and Nonsense mediated decay (NMD)

     

    Annotate TFBSs motifsAnnotate transcription factor binding site motifs (only available for latest GRCh37)
    Upstream/downstream lengthUpstream and downstream interval size. Eliminate any upstream and downstream effect by using 0 length
  4. Output: On this page you need input output parameters.
