Tip of the Week: WAVe, Web Analysis of the Variome
Today’s Tip of the Week is a short introduction to WAVe, or the Web Analysis of the Variome. The tool was recently introduced to us, and I’ve found it a welcome introduction to the tools available to the researcher to analyze human variation. This is apropos considering the recent paper we’ve been discussing on the clinical assessment of a personal genome (here, here and here) and that papers implications for personalized medicine and the use of online variation resources. WAVe also has introduced me to some additional tools I’ve either not been aware of, or haven’t used, which might be of use such as: LOVD (Leiden Open Variation Database), QuExT (Query Expansion Tool, also from the same developers as WAVe), and others. Of course there are also database information pulled in from Ensembl, Reactome, KEGG, InterPro, PDB, UniProt, NCBI and many others. Take some time to check it out.
