Tip of the Week: Human SNP-coexpression associations, SNPxGE2
Today’s tip is on a new database based on data from a single interesting paper, SNPxGE2. With a large scale association study from HapMap data (269 individuals, 4 populations, over 500k SNPs and 15k expression profiles), the research reported:
the computationally predicted human SNP-coexpression associations, that is, the differential co-expression between 2 genes is associated with the genotype of an SNP.
This data is organized in an easily searchable database called SNPxGE2. As the paper only came out 2 months ago, it’s a promising database. It’s interesting and helpful as is, but I can see more data being added over time.
