<h3>Introduction</h3>
<p>In addition to true variation, variant callers emit a number of false-positives. Some of these false-positives can be detected and rejected by various statistical tests. VariantAnnotator provides a way of annotating variant calls as preparation for executing these tests.</p>

<h3>Examples of Available Annotations</h3>
<p>The list below is not comprehensive. Please use the <code>--list</code> argument to get a list of all possible annotations available. Also, see <a href="http://www.broadinstitute.org/gatk/guide/article?id=1268">the FAQ article on understanding the Unified Genotyper's VCF files</a> for a description of some of the more standard annotations.</p>

<p>Note that technically the VariantAnnotator does not require reads (from a BAM file) to run; if no reads are provided, only those Annotations which don't use reads (e.g. Chromosome Counts) will be added. But most Annotations do require reads. <strong>When running the tool we recommend that you add the <code>-L</code> argument with the variant rod to your command line for efficiency and speed.</strong></p>
