## New pipelines & proposals

### New pipeline repositories

- [nf-core/proteinannotator](https://nf-co.re/proteinannotator) — Generation of sequence-level annotations for amino acid sequences
- [nf-core/rarevariantburden](https://nf-co.re/rarevariantburden) _(in development)_ — Pipeline for performing consistent summary count based rare variant burden test, which is useful when we only have sequenced cases data. For example, we can compare the cases against public summary count data, such as gnomAD.
- [nf-core/variantprioritization](https://nf-co.re/variantprioritization) — Bioinformatics analysis pipeline for the functional annotation and translation of somatic SNVs/InDels and copy number abberations for precision cancer medicine using Personal Cancer Genome Reporter (PCGR). The pipeline offers germline SNVs/INDELS intepretation and annotation using Cancer Predisposition Sequencing Reporter (CPSR).
