Analysis Categories¶

Categories organize the Analysis Panel into focused workspaces, each containing a curated set of category cards relevant to a specific aspect of variant interpretation. You create categories tailored to your analysis needs.

Creating a Category¶

1. Click the Start Review button in the table view.
2. Click New Category or the + button in the category selector.
3. Enter a category name and optional description.
4. Select the category cards to include in this category from the available card library.
5. Arrange the cards in your preferred layout.
6. Click Save.

The new category appears in the category selector.

Example Categories¶

Here are some examples of categories you might create for common workflows:

• Variant Info: Coordinates, consequence, impact, REF/ALT alleles, variant type.
• Gene Info: Gene symbol, transcript, biotype, HGNC ID, strand.
• Classification: ClinVar significance, ClinGen assertions, review status.
• Allele Frequency: gnomAD, 1000 Genomes Project, ExAC, population-specific frequencies.
• Prediction Scores: SIFT, PolyPhen, CADD, REVEL, MutationTaster, conservation scores.

Moving Columns Between Categories¶

You can reassign any column to a different category directly from the analysis panel:

1. Click the column badge (the category label shown on the column).
2. A popup displays all available categories.
3. Select the category you want to move the column to.
4. The column is reassigned immediately.

This makes it easy to reorganize your categories as your analysis workflow evolves.

Tips¶

• Create task-specific categories: If you regularly perform a specific type of analysis (e.g., hereditary cancer panel review), create a category with exactly the cards you need.
• Share through projects: Categories created within a project are available to all project members.
• Combine with AIVA Chat: Use categories for structured analysis and AIVA Chat for ad-hoc questions and deep dives.
