+# What is the Variant Effect Predictor(VEP)
+
+The Variant Effect Predictor (VEP) determines the effect of your variants (SNPs, insertions, deletions, CNVs or structural variants) on genes, transcripts, protein sequences and regulatory regions.
+
+Simply input the coordinates of your variants and the nucleotide changes to find out the:
+
+* __genes and transcripts__ affected by the variants
+* __location__ of the variants (e.g. upstream of a transcript, in coding sequence, in non-coding RNA, in regulatory regions)
+* __consequence__ of your variants on the protein sequence (e.g. stop gained, missense, stop lost, frameshift), see variant consequences.
+* __known variants__ that match yours, and associated minor allele frequencies from the 1000 Genomes Project
+* __SIFT and PolyPhen-2 scores__ for changes to protein sequence
+
+... and more! ie data types, versions.
