Overview

OpenCGA Variant Storage Engine provides a centralized solution to storage Genomic Variants. It provides a source of data for analysis and visualization in compatible viewers like GenomeMaps. Allowing a fast reading and filtering for variants will speed up analysis, with fastest and more accurate results.

There are an increasing number of biological formats supported by OpenCGA related with a common NGS pipeline. Within this formats, we focus on Genomic Variants due to the complexity and analysis capabilities
