First of all sorry about the late reply. Indeed, this looks very interesting. We are currently in the process of rewriting MIP in nextflow which takes a lot of our resources and thus the work on MIP has been limited to maintenance mostly. However, we will try to include this in the nf-core pipeline :)
Will not be done in MIP
Transferred this to our fork of the raredisease repo in order to not forget about it

Hi!
I have recently listened to an ESHG talk about annotating variants in 5'UTR. I found it very interesting and it is worth trying. Below you can find their GitHub page and publications.
