Our team is coming to BioIT World Conference & Expo that takes place in Boston on May 15–17th 2018.

VarSome, our ‘Google of Genomics’, was selected a Finalist in the Best of Show Awards of BioIT Conference. Come and support us at our booth 646!

VarSome — The Human Genome Variant Search Engine

VarSome is both a powerful annotation tool and search engine for human genomic variants, and a platform enabling the sharing of knowledge on specific variants. Since its initial release in May 2016, VarSome has grown to 56,000 users from more than 120 different countries. It has already been integrated into other websites, including the Variant Validator, and has been used as an educational resource in university lectures. As the community continues to grow, VarSome is becoming an increasingly important knowledge base for human variation. Most importantly, the ability of users to mark variants as pathogenic or benign allows the combined expertise of the community to be organized and shared to the benefit of everyone in the field.
