mehari: high-performance, strict HGVS-first variant effect prediction (opens in new tab)

Variant annotation requires the precise and consistent computation of Sequence Ontology (SO) terms and Human Genome Variation Society (HGVS) nomenclature. To ensure robust synchronization between these two key facets, we present mehari, a high-performance variant effect predictor implemented in Rust that employs a strict "HGVS-first" approach. By deterministically projecting variants to transcripts before evaluating functional consequences, mehari structurally aligns HGVS notation and SO term...
