tool to annotate and manipulate genome variants - tool

 SnpSift is a toolbox that allows one to filter and manipulate annotated files.
 Once the genomic variants have been annotated, one needs to filter them out in
 order to find the "interesting / relevant variants". Given the large data
 files, this is not a trivial task (e.g. one cannot load all the variants into
 XLS spreadsheet). SnpSift helps to perform this VCF file manipulation and
 filtering required at this stage in data processing pipelines.

 This package contains the command line tool.
