Batch Annotation

File Format

Wildcard Queries (New Feature)

You can now query multiple variants at once using wildcard patterns. This is useful when you want to retrieve all variants at a specific position or all variants with a specific allele.

Supported Query Patterns:

chr pos

Returns all variants at the specified position

chr pos ref

Returns all alternate alleles for the specified reference

chr pos * alt

Returns all reference alleles for the specified alternate

chr pos ref *

Returns all alternate alleles for the specified reference

chr pos ref alt

Returns exact match (original behavior)

Performance Note: Wildcard queries may return multiple results per input line and take slightly longer to process than exact matches. For best performance with large files, use exact matches when possible.

TSV (Tab-Separated Values)

CSV (Comma-Separated Values)

VCF (Vcard)

TXT (Plain Text)

Get Started

The batch annotation feature allows you to submit a file with multiple variants for annotation using HG38 genome assembly. You can now use wildcard queries to retrieve all variants at a position or with specific alleles. Results will be emailed to you when processing is complete. The file must be in plain text format with one variant per row.

Estimated Processing Time

The processing time depends on the number of input lines in your file:

Input LinesProcessing Time
1 - 10,000 LinesA few minutes
10,000 to 100,000 Lines15 - 40 minutes
500,000 to 1,000,000 Lines1 - 6 hours
Note: Wildcard queries return multiple variants per input line and may take longer to process. Processing times may vary based on server load, the number of wildcard queries, and the size of result sets.

We will email you when the results are ready.
