BioStar is a site for asking, answering and discussing bioinformatics questions. We are members of thecommunity and find it very useful. Often questions and answers arise at BioStar that are germane to our readers (end users of genomics resources).

Haploview, the downloaded software that allows the user to perform in depth LD and haplotype analysis, has been recently updated from version 4.1 to version 4.2. [...]
And maybe it will help you visualize peace too . There are several sites and software programs (Haploview and GVS are two) that will help you do visual genotype, we are going to show you one here that is simple to use at SeattleSNPs. This tip will show you how to access SeattleSNPs VG2 software [...]
