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 [...]
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… RT @32nm: ISCB Public Policy Statement on Open Access to Scientific and Technical Research Literature — [...]
As you may know, we’ve been doing tips-of-the-week for three years now. We have completed around 150 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 it’s a [...]
For this week’s Tip of the Week I’ll introduce Varietas, a resource that integrates human variation information such as SNP and CNV data, and offers a handy tabular output with links to additional databases that will enable researchers to quickly explore other sources of information about the variations or regions of interest. I think this [...]
About 6-7 months ago, Mary mentioned that R-Genetics analysis was coming to Galaxy. Well, it has now and is available at the public Galaxy site. The old Rgenetics site links to the new one and the information about using Galaxy as a wrap around interface for the Rgenetics project tools. Today’s tip just points you [...]
Today’s tip is the continuation of researching a single SNP in an individual genome. Trey will use a dbSNP RS ID to find linkage disequilibrium information between a SNP of interest and SNPs in the region easily and quickly. GVS, the Genome Variation Server at the University of Washington to analyze a dbSNP rs ID [...]
The last tip of the week I did was Genome Variation Tour I where we started our journey following one SNP in an individual’s genome through various databases to see what we can find out about that variation. In that tip we started out by looking at a SNP in the CYP4F2 gene in the [...]
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 [...]
Today’s tip is on a new genotype/phenotype resource from the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, or SIB. I was already a fan of many SIB tools and resources, and was using one (ENZYME) when I found a notice about SwissVar. SwissVar is described as ‘a portal to Swiss-Prot diseases and variants.’ It includes information about genotype-phenotype [...]
Comprehensive tutorials on the publicly available dbGaP, GAD, and DGV databases enable researchers to quickly and effectively use these invaluable resources. Seattle, WA: July 16, 2009 — OpenHelix today announced the availability of new tutorial suites on dbGaP, Genetic Assocation Database (GAD) and Database of Genomic Variants (DGV). The dbGaP resource is a database of [...]
