Welcome to mutationdiscovery.com  

MutationDiscovery.com is a resource for people doing research in the area of genetic variation. The site includes entries for thousands of genes, and each entry presents known variations in the context of the genomic sequence for the gene. The genomic sequence is drawn from the Genome Annotation Project at NCBI. Variation data is drawn from several sources - see the FAQ page for more details. At this time, the site includes data on human and mouse genes; data on other organisms will be added in the near future.

The site also includes PCR and DHPLC protocols to help researchers apply ADS Biotec WAVE nucleic acid fragment analysis technology to the detection of both new and previously observed genetic variations. For more information on DHPLC and WAVE technology, please see www.adsbiotec.com.

The main locus display page on this site is built using Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) technology - a W3C standard supported by a plug-in from Adobe, which must be installed before using the site. ( Here is a static sample page.)
