This tutorial covers a comprehensive variant classification workflow for filtering variants, classifying variants according to position relative to a gene transcript, classifying variants according to the variant’s effect on the amino acid sequence, and visualizing variants of interest.

The data for this tutorial is taken from the Complete Genomics sample sequence data, see CGI Sequence Data. The starter project also contains the phenotype spreadsheet containing the population information, the ftp directory, and the HapMap sample name which is not the same as the CGI sample name.
