No, that's it. I just took some freedom and toyed with the description a bit more. Please have a look. You may want to shorten it a bit more. It should be understandable, though. Another tool that could substitute (semantically) SnpEff is VEP, i.e. the variant effect predictor by the ensembl.org team. I do not think we have packaged this yet, though. Best, Steffen
