PupaSuite is an interactive web-based SNP analysis tool that allows for the selection of relevant SNPs within a gene, based on different characteristics of the SNP itself, such as validation status, type, frequency/population data and putative functional properties (pathological SNPs, SNPs disrupting potential transcription factor binding sites, intron/exon boundaries...). Also, PupaSuite provides information about LD parameters (based on genotype data from HapMap) and identifies haplotype blocks and tag SNPs (using the Haploview program).
Contents
PupaSuite operates with a collection of entries of dbSNP mapped to the Golden Path genome assembly, as implemented in human section of Ensembl (Hubbard T. et al., 2005).
Website Functionality
At this time the user registration and contact links are both broken with no contact information provided, implying that Pupasuite is not being maintained.
Documentation
Unfortunately Pupasuite's documentation is almost nonexistent and it is recommended that usage of Pupasuite be avoided. Format of upload datafiles is not defined and there are no examples or help instructions beyond an incomplete data upload description.
