openSNP

Don’t recognize the name? I didn’t either when I came across it on Genoweb under the title Battle Over.

Then I read the homepage blurb:

openSNP allows customers of direct-to-customer genetic tests to publish their test results, find others with similar genetic variations, learn more about their results, find the latest primary literature on their variations and help scientists to find new associations.

I think we will be hearing more about openSNP in the not too distant future.

Sounds like a useful place to talk about topic maps. But in terms of their semantic impedances and their identifiers for subjects.

Hard to sell a product if we are fixing a “problem” that no one sees as a “problem.”
