Input selection
Please check up to 5 boxes at the same time.
By default (i.e. without selecting any input dataset, snpXplorer will load IGAP study (chr16).
Reference Genome
Browsing options
Locus: genomic location of interest. The format is chromosome:position (e.g 1:12345678)
RsID: variant of interest. The format is rsXXXX (e.g rs7412)
Gene name: gene of interest. The format is gene symbol (e.g APOE)
Please remeber to press the 'Show Results!' button to update the plot.

** If you don't select any population, by default European samples of the 1000Genome project will be used. Please refer to the Help section for additional information about the populations reported above.
** In case the top SNP is not in 1000Genome data, we take the second-most significant, then the third-most significant, etc.

You can add additional tissues by selecting them on the box below. Selecting All_tissues will display results of all GTEx tissues. It may take some time in case you select many tissues and the window-size is big, so please be patient.

By default, only Blood is considered. Adding multiple tissues may impact your analysis as a larger number of genes may be associated with each SNP.
Once analysis is done, you'll receive results by email.

Help page
This page provides sample files to try out both the Exploration and the Annotation part, and a quick-start video.
Exploration section
For the exploration section, please provide a space- or tab-separated file with header.
Make sure there are at least chromosome number, position and p-value. snpXplorer will try to understand the columns from the file header.
Alternatively, you can use PLINK formatted files. Look at the examples below or download a ready-to-use dataset to try out.
