DataBiNS-Viz: A Web-Based Tool for Visualization of Non-Synonymous SNP Data

Fong Chun Chan, Edward A. Kawas, Mark D. Wilkinson and Scott J. Tebbutt

Here we describe DataBiNS-Viz – a visualization and exploration environment for non-synonymous coding single nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs) data gathered by the BioMoby-based DataBiNS workflow. DataBiNSViz enables execution of the DataBiNS workflow on proteins described by KEGG, PubMed, or OMIM identifiers, followed by manual exploration of the integrated structure/function and pathway data for those proteins, with a particular focus on nsSNP data in-context. The tool can be freely accessed at http://bioinfo.icapture.ubc.ca:8090/ DataBiNS (please use the Firefox or Safari web browsers). Examples of the retrieved data are given under the “Help on inputs” option. Detailed documentation can be accessed at http://bioinfo.icapture.ubc.ca/mywiki/ DataBiNS.
