GA4GH Beacon Client

Query genomic variants using the GA4GH Beacon protocol

Query Types:
• Gene Query: Specify a gene ID (e.g., APOE, BRCA1) to find variants in that gene
• Sequence Query: Specify chromosome + start + reference/alternate bases for precise variants
• Range Query: Specify chromosome + start + end to find any variant in that region
— OR —
Select individual beacons or check "Query All Beacons" to query all at once
