CAVA v1.1.1 available

[Márton Münz]

A new version of our NGS variant annotation tool, CAVA v1.1.1 is now available on the webpage:

http://www.well.ox.ac.uk/cava

The most important improvement is that the new release enables significantly faster variant annotation. Now you can easily annotate 6 milion+ VCF records in an hour.

 

New features of v1.1.1 include:

- Faster variant annotation even as a single process

- Parallelization: inbuilt multithreading option to further speed up annotation

- Bug fixes affecting both CAVA and the transcript database generation tool (dbprep)

We are also providing an updated whole exome transcript database and dbSNP database which are generated with the updated dbprep tool after bug fixes.

We are very grateful for any feedbacks or suggestions.

 

Many thanks for your interest!
