VADR wiki

VADR (Viral Annotation DefineR) is a tool for validation and annotation of virus sequence submissions to GenBank.

Use the sidebar to navigate. This wiki covers:

• Annotation guides — how to run VADR for SARS-CoV-2, influenza, mpox virus, RSV and Zika virus.
• GenBank processing versions — which VADR version, models and command-line options GenBank has used, and when, for the viruses it processes automatically.
• Models and reference — available model files and download instructions, Rfam-based structural annotation of a viral genome sequence, and development notes.
