SummaryExtremely large datasets are impossible or very difficult for humans to comprehend by standard mental approaches. Intuitive visualization of genetic variants in genomic sequencing data could help in the review and confirmation process of variants called by automated variant calling programs. To help facilitate interpretation of genetic variant next-generation sequencing (NGS) data we developed VisVariant, a customizable visualization tool that creates a figure showing the overlapping sequence information of thousands of individual reads including the variant and flanking regions. Availability and implementationDetailed information on how to download, install and run VisVariant together with an example is available on our github website [https://github.com/hugging-biorxiv/visvariant].

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
