Genevar: a database and Java application for the analysis and visualization of SNP-gene associations in eQTL studies

Bioinformatics. 2010 Oct 1;26(19):2474-6. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btq452. Epub 2010 Aug 10.

Abstract

Genevar (GENe Expression VARiation) is a database and Java tool designed to integrate multiple datasets, and provides analysis and visualization of associations between sequence variation and gene expression. Genevar allows researchers to investigate expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) associations within a gene locus of interest in real time. The database and application can be installed on a standard computer in database mode and, in addition, on a server to share discoveries among affiliations or the broader community over the Internet via web services protocols.
