Abstract:It is now widely believed that low-frequency variants may play an important role in cancers. In addition, low-frequency variants are usually closely related to populations. To identify the disease-associated variants, several projects are now underway to build a reference of genetic variations from different populations. Furthermore, massive tools and databases are available to compare the dynamic gene expression among different organs and predict functional effects of genetic variants. These resources aid to … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
