  Abstract

Summary: Sequence variants, in particular Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs), are key elements for the identification of genes associated to complex diseases and to particular drug responses. The search for literature about sequence variation is hampered by the large number of allelic variants reported for many genes and by the variability in both gene and sequence variants nomenclatures. We describe OSIRIS, a search tool that integrates different sources of information with the aim to retrieve literature about sequence variation of a gene. In addition, it provides a way to link a dbSNP entry with the articles referring to it.

Availability: OSIRIS is available for public use at http://ibi.imim.es/.

Supplementary information: available at the journal website.
