Abstract
Summary Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) aim to identify associations of genetic variations such as single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to a specific trait or a disease. Identifying common themes such as pathways, biological processes and diseases associations is needed to further explore and interpret these results. Varanto is a novel web tool for annotating, visualizing and analyzing human genetic variations using diverse data sources. Varanto can be used to query a set of input variations, retrieve their associated variation and gene level annotations, perform annotation enrichment analysis and visualize the results. Availability and implementation Varanto web app is developed with R and implemented as Shiny app with PostgreSQL database and is freely available at http://bioinformatics.uef.fi/varanto. Source code for the tool is available at https://github.com/oqe/varanto. Supplementary information Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
