Introduction

The Beacon+ web-based user interface originally was developed to implement the BeaconCNVRequest as described in ga4gh-beacon/specification#94

Beacon+ now is a feature-extended, forward looking implementation of the Beacon API, aimed at testing current features and roadmap items for the ELIXIR Beacon code development.

The Beacon+ queries are against genomic variant data and metadata annotations (biomedical, procedural) from the Progenetix cancer genomics environment.

For more information, please see the Beacon documentation on Progenetix and the Beacon Project website.
