Welcome to GeneBe
GeneBe is an innovative platform dedicated to genetic variant interpretation. Pronounced as "gene bee" (/dʒiːnbiː/), it aims to solve the challenges of genetic variant annotation and interpretation by providing a fast, reliable, and user-friendly solution.
Our Mission
At GeneBe, we strive to make genetic variant analysis accessible and efficient for researchers, clinicians, and geneticists. Our platform aggregates data from various reputable sources, offering:
- Comprehensive Variant Information: Including variant function, GnomAD frequencies, ClinVar annotations, and more.
- Free ACMG Pathogenicity Calculator: A powerful tool to assess genetic variants based on ACMG/AMP guidelines.
- Fast and Useful API: With a Pandas client for annotating variants in Python and a Java client for VCF file annotation.
- Privacy-Focused Design: No third-party trackers, ensuring your data remains secure.
Key Features
- Evergreen Annotations: Continuously updated data from sources like GnomAD, ClinVar, Refseq, and more.
- User-Friendly Interface: Simplifies navigation and exploration of genetic data.
- API Access: Annotate VCF files, Pandas dataframes, or variant lists with ACMG scores, GnomAD frequencies, ClinVar annotations, and effect predictors. Learn more about our API.
- Open-Source Tools: Check out our Python client on GitHub and our Java client for VCF annotation at genebe-cli.
Privacy and Security
We take the privacy and security of our users' information seriously:
- No Third-Party Tracking: We do not use Google Analytics or similar frameworks. All user queries and visited pages are private.
- Secure Data Handling: We follow strict protocols to protect your data and do not sell or share personal information with third parties.
