SNPedia: a wiki supporting personal genome annotation, interpretation and analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
SNPedia (http://www.SNPedia.com) is a wiki resource of the functional consequences of human genetic variation as published in peer-reviewed studies. Online since 2006 and freely available for personal use, SNPedia has focused on the medical, phenotypic and genealogical associations of single nucleotide polymorphisms. Entries are formatted to allow associations to be assigned to single genotypes as well as sets of genotypes (genosets). In this article, we discuss the growth of this resource and its use by affiliated software to create personal genome reports.

Knowledge Acquisition through Semantic Annotation is vital to the evolution, growth and success of the Semantic Web. Both Semiautomatic and Manual Annotation are constricted by a knowledge acquisition bottleneck. Manual Semantic Annotation is a complex and arduous task both time-consuming and costly, often requiring specialist annotators. Therefore, automation of this process is essential to ea...
متن کاملThe Gene Wiki: community intelligence applied to human gene annotation
Annotating the function of all human genes is a critical, yet formidable, challenge. Current gene annotation efforts focus on centralized curation resources, but it is increasingly clear that this approach does not scale with the rapid growth of the biomedical literature. The Gene Wiki utilizes an alternative and complementary model based on the principle of community intelligence. Directly int...
