Nirvana is no longer actively maintained as an open sourced tool. Please visit Illumina Connected Annotations for the latest version. Latest documentation can be found here

Nirvana

Nirvana provides clinical-grade annotation of genomic variants (SNVs, MNVs, insertions, deletions, indels, and SVs (including CNVs). It can be run as a stand-alone package or integrated into larger software tools that require variant annotation.

The input to Nirvana are VCFs and the output is a structured JSON representation of all annotation and sample information (as extracted from the VCF). Optionally, a subset of the annotated data is available in VCF and/or gVCF files. Nirvana handles multiple alternate alleles and multiple samples with ease.

The software is being developed under a rigorous SDLC and testing process to ensure accuracy of the results and enable embedding in other software with regulatory needs. Nirvana uses a continuous integration pipeline where millions of variant annotations are monitored against baseline values on a daily basis.
