# VariantFiltering: Filtering of coding and non-coding genetic variants [](http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/VariantFiltering.html "How long has been VariantFiltering in a release of Bioconductor") [](http://bioconductor.org/packages/stats/bioc/VariantFiltering/ "Ranking by the number of downloads. A lower number means the package is downloaded more frequently. Determined within a package type (software, experiment, annotation, workflow) and uses the number of distinct IPs for the last 12 months.")

The vignette contains an example on how to use it. ## Questions, bug reports and issues For bug reports and feature requests, please use the GitHub issues [tab](https://github.com/rcastelo/VariantFiltering/issues) at the top-left of this page. ## Contributing Contributions to the software codebase of `VariantFiltering` are welcome as long as contributors abide to the terms of the [Bioconductor Contributor Code of Conduct](https://bioconductor.org/about/code-of-conduct). If you want to contribute to the development of VariantFiltering please open an [issue](https://github.com/functionalgenomics/VariantFiltering/issues) to start discussing your suggestion or, in case of a bugfix or a straightforward feature, directly a [pull request](https://github.com/functionalgenomics/VariantFiltering/pulls). ## Funding This software project is supported in part by the Spanish [Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities](https://www.ciencia.gob.es).
