Abstract

GeneSetPheno is a user-friendly graphical interface that integrates, summarizes, and visualizes gene and variant-phenotype associations across genomic resources. It allows users to explore interrelationships between genetic variants and phenotypes, offering insights into the genetic factors driving phenotypic variation within user-defined gene sets. GeneSetPheno also supports comparisons across gene sets to identify shared or unique genetic variants, phenotypic associations, biological pathways, and potential gene-gene interactions. GeneSetPheno is a free and highly configurable tool for exploring the complex relationships between gene sets, genetic variants, and phenotypes. Target users include molecular biologists and clinicians who wish to explore a gene or gene set of particular interest.
