Mike Cariaso – Today’s invited talker

SNPedia (pronounced "snipedia") is a wiki-based bioinformatics web site that serves as a database of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Each article on a SNP provides a short description, links to scientific articles and personal genomics web sites, as well as microarray information about that SNP. Thus SNPedia may support the interpretation of results of personal genotyping from, e.g., 23andMe, Navigenics, deCODEme, or Knome.

SNPedia was created, and is run by, geneticist Greg Lennon and programmer Mike Cariaso, who at the time of the site's founding were both located in Bethesda, Maryland.

 

He gave a talk excitingly so I was impressed with him. His genious site SNPedia intruigues me. When he asked a question whether we’re going to use the SNPedia, I didn’t raise my hand because of not listening to well his question. But I really want to use it! His ambitious and clever idea make me think positively about bioinformatics which I regard difficult thing.
