MARRVEL: A powerful search engine to gather genetic information from humans and model organisms

In collaboration with bioinformaticians and programmers in Dr. Zhandong Liu's lab, we developed MARRVEL (Model organism Aggregated Resources for Rare Variant ExpLoration), a publicly accessible web-based tool that gathers useful information to support genetic diagnosis. This website can be used by clinicians who are trying to determine the best disease candidate gene and variants in a patient of interest, and also can be used by model organism biologists who wish to know the clinical relevance of their genes of interest.
