This week’s SNPpets have a range of resources–from food crops to public health to personal genomics. Really, it’s touching everything we do now. A resource filling a gap–digenic diseases–was new to me: DIDA. A nice collection of miRNA resources. And a popular item about NGS can go “horribly wrong”. An awesome FAQ. The final JABBA award. There’s a lot more too–great week for fascinating reads.
Welcome to our Friday feature link collection: SNPpets. During the week we come across a lot of links and reads that we think are interesting, but don’t make it to a blog post. Here they are for your enjoyment…
