Folklore
github.com/helena-bioinformatics/folklore-mcpDeterministic, rule-based variant interpretation platform for clinical genetics laboratories. Automates ACMG/AMP 2015 classification using a Bayesian point-based framework (Tavtigian et al. 2018) with BayesDel ClinGen SVI-calibrated thresholds (Pejaver et al. 2022). Integrates 8 reference databases (gnomAD v4.1, ClinVar, dbNSFP 4.9c, SpliceAI, gnomAD Constraint, HPO, ClinGen, Ensembl VEP). Analyzes nuclear and mtDNA variants, structural and copy-number variants (SV/CNV), with trio/family and cohort analysis. Supports HPO-based phenotype matching, biomedical literature mining across 2M+ PubMed publications, and structured clinical report generation. AI assists in evidence synthesis but does not make classification decisions. EU-hosted on dedicated infrastructure in Helsinki, Finland (GDPR-compliant).

SAMtools and BCFtools are widely used programs for processing and analysing high-throughput sequencing data. They include tools for file format conversion and manipulation, sorting, querying, statistics, variant calling, and effect analysis amongst other methods.
BCFtools is a set of utilities that manipulate variant calls in the Variant Call Format (VCF) and its binary counterpart BCF. All commands work transparently with both VCFs and BCFs, both uncompressed and BGZF-compressed.
Pangolin is a deep-learning based method for predicting splice site strengths (for details, see Zeng and Li, Genome Biology 2022). It is available as a command-line tool that can be run on a VCF or CSV file containing variants of interest; Pangolin will predict changes in splice site strength due to each variant, and return a file of the same format. Pangolin's models can also be used with custom sequences.
A Python script that converts positional information from a SAM dataset into interval format with 0-based start and 1-based end. CIGAR string of SAM format is used to compute the end coordinate.
