What is the best tagger that can be used to identify Sequence variants from free text?

I am building a web based pipeline to extract information about sequence variants from biomedical literature. For the tagging part, I need a tagger that can specifically identify sequence variants (DNA mutations, Protein mutations and SNPs) from text. I found that tmVar tool is capable of doing that. Other than tmVar, are there any other taggers to identify sequence variants? If yes, what are they and what is the best one?

MutationFinder is another one: http://mutationfinder.sourceforge.net/ I have no idea about their comparative performance.
