What's New
Variant Name Mapper
New article, The need for genetic variant naming standards in published abstracts of human genetic association studies , published in the April 14, 2009 issue of BMC Research Notes on a new component of the HuGE Navigator , the Variant Name Mapper .
Authors: Yu W, Ned R, Wulf A, Liu T, Khoury MJ and Gwinn M. (4/16/2009)
HuGE Literature Finder recent uploaded articles
A new feature has been added to the HuGE Literature Finder that allows users to find the citations most recently added to the HuGE literature database. You can follow this link or search by the term "recent" to retrieve all HuGE publications included in the most recent upload (which generally occurs on Wednesday). (4/9/2009)
Recommendations from the STrengthening the REporting of Genetic Association studies (STREGA) Initiative Released
Recommendations of the STREGA initiative are being published in seven medical
journals this month. The initiative builds on the current STROBE
Statement (STrengthening the Reporting of OBservational studies in
Epidemiology) to help researchers standardize results and make sense of
evidence uncovered from human genetic associations studies. (2/23/2009)
Field synopsis on genes and cancer
susceptibility published
A new field
synopsis on low-penetrance variants in DNA
repair genes and cancer susceptibility published online December 30, 2008,
in the Journal of the National Cancer
Institute Advance Access found that at most three of 1,123
genetic associations examined had “strong” credibility
based on the amount of evidence, extent of replication, and protection
from bias. (12/30/2008)
Gene Prospector
An
article on a component of the HuGE Navigator,
the Gene Prospector was published and is currently featured in BMC
Bioinformatics. (12/8/2008)
