Conclusion
In today's session you learned to:
- Search for information about a human disorder => MedGen
- Find what is known about a clinical genetic variant => ClinVar
- Learn what is known about a gene, it's normal expression and function => NCBI Gene
- Map a genetic variant onto successive biological sequences with annotations => Genome Data Viewer (GDV), "Graphics" Sequence Viewer for NCBI Nucleotide and NCBI Protein database records
- Interpret all of the above information along with additional structure/function information => Conserved Domains database, CD-Search & iCn3D
- Predict the molecular impact of a variant and use this for understanding a patient’s disease etiology
We worked with some cool things today, how do I learn more about using them?
