RESUMO
As genomics advances swiftly and its applications extend to diverse fields, bioinformatics tools must enable researchers and clinicians to work with genomic data irrespective of their programming expertise. We developed SCI-VCF, a Shiny-based comprehensive analysis utility to summarize, compare, inspect, analyse and design interactive visualizations of the genetic variants from the variant call format. With an intuitive graphical user interface, SCI-VCF aims to bridge the approachability gap in genomics that arises from the existing predominantly command-line utilities. SCI-VCF is written in R and is freely available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.11453080. For installation-free access, users can avail themselves of an online version at https://ibse.shinyapps.io/sci-vcf-online.
