VariantRemains is a computational framework designed for the analysis of genetic variants, particularly in the context of evolutionary biology and population genetics. The tool facilitates the examination of how genetic variants persist, evolve, and are distributed across populations or in response to selective pressures.

Developed to assist researchers in understanding the functional and evolutionary significance of genetic variations, VariantRemains offers features such as variant tracking over time, comparison of variant frequencies among different groups, and assessments of neutral versus selective forces acting on specific genomic regions. Its algorithms integrate statistical models and phylogenetic methods to provide insights into the persistence and trajectories of variants.

The software is used in a variety of applications, including studies of human genetic diversity, pathogen evolution, and conservation genetics. By analyzing the patterns of variant retention and disappearance, VariantRemains helps identify variants under selection, estimate mutation rates, and infer evolutionary history.

VariantRemains is designed to be user-friendly with a flexible interface that allows for customizable analyses. It supports various data formats, including VCF (Variant Call Format), and can be integrated into broader bioinformatics pipelines. The tool is often used in research settings aiming to decode the genetic basis of adaptation, disease susceptibility, or species resilience.

As an open-source project, VariantRemains continues to evolve with contributions from the scientific community, ensuring it remains relevant in rapidly advancing fields of genomics and computational biology.
