1 Genevar: a database and Java application for the analysis and visualization of SNP-gene associations in eQTL studies

Summary: Genevar (GENe Expression VARiation) is a database and Java tool designed to integrate multiple datasets, and provides analysis and visualization of associations between sequence varia-tion and gene expression. Genevar allows researchers to investigate eQTL associations within a gene locus of interest in real time. The database and application can be installed on a standard computer in database mode and, in addition, on a server to share discoveries among affiliations or the broader community over the internet via web services protocols
