VariantGrid

VariantGrid is a database and web application for storing, analysing and classifying variants.

Upload VCFs to:

  • See all samples that share a variant
  • Analyse and filter samples, including real time drag & drop interactive analyses
  • Classify variants using customisable ACMG form
  • Manage and curate data, including patient phenotypes

Research use is free, while commercial use requires a licence, before code becomes fully free/open source in 4 years. This is our attempt to obtain sustainable funding to for future development. See Licence discussion

Use cases

VariantGrid has been used for private servers:

The technology is also used on public data sharing sites:

Overview

VariantGrid is written in Python3 using Django and PostgreSQL.

The project aims at integrating with existing mapping & variant calling pipelines and patient record systems

10-100k samples, mostly exomes Multi-sample analysis is done on samples from same VCF Run on a reasonably beefy server (4-16 cores, 10G RAM, SSD preferred) Optimise for bioinformatician productivity vs raw performance
