- SNPedia
SNPedia is a wiki-based
bioinformatics web-site databasingsingle nucleotide polymorphism s (SNP) running from "www.snpedia.com".Each article may provide a short description, links to scientific articles andpersonal genomics web-sites as well as microarray information about a specific SNP.Thus SNPedia may support the interpretation of results of personal genotyping from, e.g.,23andMe ,Navigenics ,deCODEme orKnome .
