About mit-o-matic
The diverse clinical spectrum of diseases manifested by mitochondrial dysfunction demands proper interpretation and analysis of mtDNA variants. mit-o-matic is a tool designed to provide clinically relevant information distributed in disparate resources for understanding and annotating mtDNA variations.
The pipeline has two components: a command-line component that provides automation for alignment of NGS reads to the modified rCRS; and an online version that provides a comprehensive genetic report of mitochondrial variants, which includes information about the corresponding mutation, gene, associated phenotype and population frequency. It also reports the estimated haplogroup, disease associated variations and heteroplasmic sites.
