To facilitate convenient and fast access to ANNOVAR for researchers who prefer a graphical user interface, wANNOVAR provides web-based access to the most commonly used functionalities of ANNOVAR for human genomes.
By visiting the wANNOVAR website, users can directly upload their variant files and obtain their results back via web interface.
In addition, wANNOVAR implements phenotype-based variant prioritization, which is helpful in scenarios in which a sample’s specific phenotype or disease information is available and may help identify causal variants.
