SNPedia is a wiki-based bioinformatics resource focused on cataloging single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and their medical, phenotypic, and genealogical associations. Designed to bridge the gap between genomic data and its real-world implications, SNPedia supports both researchers and personal genome enthusiasts by providing easily searchable, peer-reviewed information.

The database leverages a semantic wiki format to organize and link data effectively, making it a valuable tool for clinicians and practitioners interested in personalized medicine and genetic interpretation.

Strengths:

  • SNPedia is a comprehensive resource covering over 100,000 SNPs with associated clinical conditions and phenotypes.
  • It facilitates personal genome annotation and interpretation for platforms like 23andMe.
  • The semantic wiki format ensures interconnected, user-friendly content.
  • Links to scientific articles and other genomic tools enhance research depth.
  • It is free to access for personal use, making it an excellent tool for practitioners and individuals interested in genetics.

Cost:

SNPedia is freely accessible for personal use, making it a cost-effective solution for practitioners and individuals. Licensing fees may apply for commercial purposes.
