AssociationViewer is a Java based program designed to be used in whole genome analysis to display SNPs in a genomic context. The supplementary data is downloaded from various public data sources on the fly and saved locally in a cache and custom data can be added as supplementary tracks.
Here are some key features of "AssociationViewer":
· Display SNPs and their p-values in a genetic context, similar to usual genome browsers
· Automatically download supplementary information from Ensembl/Biomart
· Display Hapmap LD plots
· Print and export the display to various data formats
· Import external data file such as BED or Wiggle as supplementary tracks
· Does not require to have a local copy of any data or data source, except for the primary file of SNPs and their respective p-values
· Users can scroll and browse through their data in real time
· Small in size (AssociationViewer itself is less than 800 KB, less than 5 MB with the required libraries)
· Downloaded data is kept in a cache locally for faster access
· Due to the cache, memory requirement is reasonable
Requirements:
· Java
