Abstract

The next generation sequencing (NGS) technology has been playing important roles in genetic diagnosis of diseases in recent years, and serving as a technological basis of precision medicine. In analyzing NGS data, the variant annotation is an important step. In this study, we developed a computationally efficient software (BIG-Annotator) to perform functional annotation for whole-genome single nucleotide polymorphisms. BIG-Annotator integrates the widely used databases and pipelines for variant annotation of genetic diseases and tumors, and follows the 2015 ACMG-AMP Standard Guide for Interpretation and Reporting of Clinical Variants. BIG-Annotator is ten times faster than the existing software, and suitable for annotating genomic sequencing data from large samples. Here we present two analysis cases of genetic diagnosis using BIG-Annotator to show its applications.
