After again reading Daniel MacArthur’s good rundown about the state of databases of human disease-causing variation from last year (One database to hold them all), I thought it might be nice to do a tip comparing several of them. I couldn’t get it under our self-imposed 5 minute limit for our tips (and technical limit [...]
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 [...]
As you may know, we’ve been doing these video tips-of-the-week for FOUR years now. We have completed around 200 little tidbit introductions to various resources. At the end of the year we’ve established a sort of holiday tradition: we are doing a summary post to collect them all. If you have missed any of them [...]
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). Every Thursday we will be highlighting one of those questions and answers here in this thread. You [...]

Polysearch is a tool that allows you to search many different databases at once with a query “given X find all associated Y.” For example, given a pathway, find all associated drugs or given a gene find all associated diseases. I’ve found the tool to be quite helpful. The tool was listed in last week’s [...]
I did a tip of the week on SNPTips a few months ago (more information there). It’s a great addon to view your genomic data while browsing databases and web sites. They’ve moved to version 1.1. There are two nice new features and some bug fixes. The features are: *You can now use your deCODEme [...]

There have been a bunch of tweets lately around the UniSNP database–so I thought I’d do a quick post to raise awareness of that. The mission of UniSNP stated on their homepage at NHGRI is: UniSNP is a database of uniquely mapped SNPs from dbSNP (build 129) and HapMap (release 27), where differences in SNP [...]
