SNPversity

SNPversity analyzes single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and visualizes allelic and mutational states to support genetic mapping, population genetics, and functional genomics.

Key Features:

• HDF5 Database Backend: Stores SNP data in HDF5 for high-performance, scalable handling of large genomic datasets.
• TASSEL-powered JSON Data Exchange: Leverages TASSEL libraries to represent genetic information in JSON for interoperable data exchange.
• Color-coded SNP Grids: Visualizes SNP information in color-coded grids organized by allelic status and mutational state.

Scientific Applications:

• Genetic Mapping: Supports identification and analysis of SNPs associated with traits for mapping studies.
• Population Genetics: Enables analysis of SNP distribution and variation across populations using large datasets.
• Functional Genomics: Facilitates investigation of how SNP variation may influence gene function and biological processes.

Methodology:

Integrates an HDF5 backend with TASSEL libraries to produce a JSON representation of genetic data and renders color-coded grids organized by allelic status and mutational state.
