Abstract:
As genomics advances swiftly and its applications extend to diverse fields, bioinformatics tools must enable researchers and clinicians to work with genomic data irrespective of their programming expertise. We developed SCI-VCF, a Shiny-based comprehensive analysis utility to summarize, compare, inspect, analyse and design interactive visualizations of the genetic variants from the variant call format. With an intuitive graphical user interface, SCI-VCF aims to bridge the approachability gap in genomics that arises from the existing predominantly command-line utilities. SCI-VCF is written in R and is freely available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.11453080. For installation-free access, users can avail themselves of an online version at https://ibse.shinyapps.io/sci-vcf-online.

Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...
