SNPedia

SNPedia

SNPedia is a wiki-based bioinformatics web-site databasing single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) running from "www.snpedia.com".Each article may provide a short description, links to scientific articles and personal genomics web-sites as well as microarray information about a specific SNP.Thus SNPedia may support the interpretation of results of personal genotyping from, e.g., 23andMe, Navigenics, deCODEme or Knome.
