Abstract excerpt
Multi-nucleotide variants (MNVs) represent a crucial yet underexplored category of genetic variation. Despite previous studies highlighting the prevalence and potential biological impact of MNVs in populations, comprehensive identification and detailed functional annotation of MNVs remain challenging. Here, we develop MNVAnno, a toolbox for rapid identification and annotation of complex MNVs, and utilize it to...
