cluhaowie/VizCNV: VizCNV is an interactive tool designed to analyze and visualize CNVs from short read WGS data in rare disease research. Built on R Studio Shiny, it streamlines the identification of complex genomic rearrangements and facilitates advancements in understanding and diagnosing rare genetic conditions.


This is a shiny app for chromosomal copy number variant analysis. It can
parse the vcf file with SV calls, visualize CNV and B-allele frequency
and genetic phasing information interactively. The VizCNV is still under
active development, suggestions is appreciated.
