What's New
2009    
  New article, Phenopedia and Genopedia: Disease-centered and Gene-centered Views of the Evolving Knowledge of Human Genetic Associations, advanced access in Bioinformatics
Authors: Wei Yu, , Mindy Clyne, Muin J. Khoury and Marta Gwinn (11/13/2009)
  Datasets for Phenopedia and Genopedia are available for downloading as text files via the links provided on their respective home pages. (8/27/2009)
  New article, The need for genetic variant naming standards in published abstracts of human genetic association studies, published in the April 14, 2009 issue of BMC Research Notes on a new component of the HuGE Navigator, the Variant Name Mapper.
Authors: Yu W, Ned R, Wulf A, Liu T, Khoury MJ and Gwinn M. (4/16/2009)
  A new feature has been added to the HuGE Literature Finder (link) that allows users to find the citations most recently added to the HuGE literature database. You can follow this link or search by the term "recent" to retrieve all HuGE publications included in the most recent upload (which generally occurs on Wednesday). (4/9/2009)
  Recently, Carrie Iwema of the University of Pittsburgh wrote a nice introduction to HuGE Navigator and described several applications in the system.

  Gene Prospector paper is currently featured on BMC Bioinformatics: "Gene Prospector, an online software tool that collates information from the ever-growing scientific literature on the human genome, enables the exploration of how inherited genetic variation and genetic interactions contribute to disease". (12/29/2008)
  New Publication, Gene Prospector: An evidence gateway for evaluating potential susceptibility genes and interacting risk factors for human diseases. BMC Bioinformatics 2008, 9:528

  A new version of HuGE Navigator (1.3) has been launched. The new version contains:
   
- a new application, Variant Name Mapper, for mapping common genetic variant names to their corresponding rs numbers.
- a new category for indexing research articles on mitochondrial genomics (users can view this new category in HuGE Literature Finder and HuGE Watch)
- capacity for downloading query results from Phenopedia and Genopedia (9/8/2008)
  A new version of HuGE Navigator (1.2) was launched on 7/16/2008 with one new application, Gene Prospector. Gene Prospector is an evidence gateway for evaluating genes in relation to diseases and risk factors. The PubMed IDs and corresponding indexed genes are downloadable from HuGE Literature Finder homepage. A few bugs were also fixed. (7/16/2008)
  New Publication, HuGE Watch: tracking trends and patterns of published studies of genetic association and human genome epidemiology in near-real time Eur J Hum Genet, May 14 2008 (5/14/2008)
  The GAPscreener paper is currently featured on BMC Bioinformatics: "PubMed abstracts can now be effectively screened for articles related to human genetic association studies and genome epidemiology using GAPscreener, a free java- based tool". (4/23/2008)
  New Publication, GAPscreener: An Automatic Tool for Screening Human Genetic Association Literature in PubMed Using the Support Vector Machine Technique BMC Bioinformatics 2008, 9:205
W Yu, M Clyne, SM Dolan, A Yesupriya, A Wulf, T Liu, MJ Khoury and M Gwinn (4/22/2008)
  A new version of HuGE Navigator (1.1) has been launched. The new version contains two new renovated components, Genopedia and Phenopedia. Genopedia provides gene-centered summaries of gene-disease associations and Phenopedia provides disease-centered summaries. A download feature was added to the HuGE Literature Finder. A few bugs were also fixed. (4/7/2008)
  Entrez Gene and HuGE Navigator initiated a collaboration. A link to HuGE_Navigator has been added to the menu at the right side of the full report page in Entrez Gene. From HuGE_Navigator, there is a link back to Entrez Gene. HuGE Navigator supplies Entrez Gene with the PubMed identifiers for citations HuGE Navigator staff curated for human genes. (3/17/2008)
