Genomics plc (“Genomics”), a leading genome analytics company, is developing algorithms, curated data resources, and software solutions to uncover the relationships between genetic variation and human traits and diseases. Genomics is allowing delegates at the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) 2015 conference to access part of its genetic association platform via a new mobile app weSNP (http://www.genomicsplc.com/wesnp/), for Android, iPhone and iPad devices, which is being made available for demonstration purposes at the conference.
DNA sequence variations, or single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), have been associated with a wide range of human diseases and traits. Analysis of this information provides a powerful tool for improving drug development pipelines. Many studies have captured data about SNPs and their association with particular traits and diseases (phenotypes), but integrating this information across studies is challenging.
Genomics’ team of bioinformaticians and statistical geneticists has developed a database including over 250 studies and 7 million ...
