MNV Annotation Corrector

MAC is an Ad hoc software designated to fix incorrect amino acid predictions caused by multiple nucleotide variations (MNVs). These complex mutations consist of two or more consecutive nucleotide substitutions, but can only be detected in the format of several single nucleotide variations (SNV) by most variant callers and annotated separately, which likely leads to incorrect amino acid prediction when more than one mutated bases occur within the same protein codon. MAC screens through a list of user-provided SNVs and the matching BAM file to accurately identify MNV, and use existing annotators (currently supports ANNOVAR/SnpEff/VEP) to provide corrected amino acid prediction.
