Learn to use the GeneSNPs resource whose goal was to provide an integrated, gene-centric view of cDNA, genomic and SNP sequence information for human genes. This web resource was developed and maintained by the University of Utah Genome Center with funding from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) as part of their Environmental Genome Project (EGP). This EGP web resource integrated gene, sequence and polymorphism data into individually annotated gene models. High quality and high density data are provided.

Ye Olde Tutorials : These tutorials are those that are no longer being updated due to various reasons: the resource is not being updated or maintained any longer, is no longer licensed, etc. Some people may be running legacy copies, however. References to the use of these tools in the literature may be found, and without examples of the tool features the details may be difficult to understand. The materials are still useful, therefore, and are offered to our users as an additional resource.
Video Tip of the Week: GWATCH, for flying over chromosomes: Ok, so it's not *just* for flying over chromosomes. There's more to it, of course. But that's the part of GWATCH (Genome-Wide Association Tracks Chromosome Highway) that caught my attention. I'm always...
Tip of the Week: A year's worth of tips: So, this week we will have finished a full year of our "Tips of the Week" series. Every Wednesday we post a short 3-5 minute movie of a tip on how to use a resource or database. We've done one year's w...
Tip of the week: SNPs on Protein Structure: The wealth of SNP data we are seeing these days is providing major insights into inheritance, population frequencies, effects on regulatory regions, splice sites and--of course--coding regions. Coding ...
