  • Short-read sequencing support (Illumina, both single and paired-end reads)
  • Supports GRCh38, supports GRCh37 and T2T via liftover
  • Supports multiallelic variants
  • Short variant detection
  • Structural variant detection
  • Short tandem repeat detection
  • Copy number variant detection (Oxford Nanopore, PacBio HiFi)
  • Consequence aware
  • Rich set of variant annotations
  • Pathogenic variant prioritization (CAPICE)
  • Phenotype support (HPO)
  • Inheritance matching (VIP inheritance matcher)
  • Variant classification and filtration using customizable decision trees
