We are grateful to our collaborators who had used variant tools in their research projects and contributed to its evolution:
We have moved the Variant Tools source code to [github][7] where the new development will take place. The new version will overhaul the storage and query model of variant tools and will take a while for it to be ready. In the meantime, we will continue to support Variant Tools, answering questions and fixing bugs through the Variant Tools [Issue Tracker][8].
