Are there other tools for SNP selection for association studies, and how is QuickSNP different from them?
There are other internet tools available for identification of SNPs for genotyping. These include SNPper (http://snpper.chip.org/), TAMAL (http://neoref.ils.unc.edu/tamal/index.jsp), SNPSelector (http://sky.bsd.uchicago.edu/SNPSelector.html), SNPHunter (http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/ppg/software.htm) and PupasView (http://pupasview.bioinfo.cipf.es/). QuickSNP offers many useful features when compared with these tools: • A gene-centric approach to tagSNP selection • Accepts multiple gene names as inputs • Allows for automatic coordinate conversion between different genome assemblies • Provides the option to include flanking sequence around genes • Provides the option to reject SNPs that are too closely separated (user-specified distance), since these are less likely to work in genotyping experiments • Calculates the financial cost for the genotyping studies • Automatically includes coding non-synonymous SNPs in the region, if specified by the user • For ‘include tag’ and ‘exclude tag opti
