GenePipe  is  dedicated  to  bioinformatics  analysis  on  disease  gene  finding  after  SNP  (single  nucleotide  polymorphism) markers are  identified  through  an  association  study.  To  identify a good candidate disease-susceptibility gene, four major tasks are usually followed in bioinformatics analysis: sequence  retrieval  with  quality  check,  candidate  gene finding, SNP prioritization, and primer design for assays.
