May 21, 2025    Varaico variants track available for human (hg38 & hg19)

We are happy to announce the release of the Varaico variants track for human assemblies hg38/GRCh38 and hg19/GRCh37. Varaico stands for "Variation Research Advancing Insight in Complex -Organisms". was created using literature mining in a fashion similar to AVADA. +Organisms". Varaico was created using literature mining in a fashion similar to AVADA.

Varaico variants are generated by an automated process that extracts purely factual information from scientific papers about genes (by matching strings against gene names) and HGVS variant descriptions (using regular expressions). Varaico aims to reduce false positive gene and variant mentions, and aims to link them together appropriately, but nonetheless, many variants displayed are not mapped to the genomic position intended by the authors.

Mouse-over the variants to show the gene, variant, latest author/year/title, number of publications mentioning the variant, and variant effect. Varaico variants may or may not be disease-causing.

Mouse-over is shown for the orange item (BRCA1 c.4136_4137del).
