SNPedia (pronounced "snipedia") is a wiki-based bioinformatics web site that serves as a database of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Each article on a SNP provides a short description, links to scientific articles and personal genomics web sites, as well as microarray information about that SNP. Thus SNPedia may support the interpretation of results of personal genotyping from, e.g., 23andMe and similar companies.[1]
SNPedia is a semantic wiki, powered by MediaWiki and the Semantic MediaWiki extension.
SNPedia was created, and is run by, geneticist Greg Lennon[2] and programmer Mike Cariaso,[3] who at the time of the site's founding were both located in Bethesda, Maryland.[4]
As of 27 June 2019[update], the website has 537 medical conditions[5] and 109,729 SNPs in its database.[6] The number of SNPs in SNPedia has doubled roughly once every 14 months since August 2007.[7]
On 7 September 2019, MyHeritage announced that they acquired both SNPedia and Promethease. All non-European raw genetic data files previously uploaded to Promethease, and not deleted by users by 1 Nov 2019, are to be copied to MyHeritage and the users will receive a free MyHeritage account with paid level of services, including Cousin Matching and Ethnicities.[8]
