Show HN: openSNP, towards open genotypings
This is a project some friends and me have been working on for quite a while, would be awesome if you'd have a look / critique / use!
Basically, openSNP is for customers of companies like 23andme and deCODEme who want to know more about their genotyping, and for scientists who work on human SNP-research. Users can upload their genotyping, and each SNP is then parsed against three sources: the citation management software Mendely, the Open Access publishing group PLoS and the wiki-project SNPedia. Scientists can search for certain phenotypes (e.g. blue eye color) and download the linked genotypes.
We put up a longer blog-post explaining it here: http://opensnp.wordpress.com/2011/09/26/welcome-to-opensnp/
Please have a look at http://www.opensnp.org - what do you guys think?
