This application is an interactive visual representation of the Mendelian Inheritance in Man, a comprehensive authorities compendium of human genes and genetic phenotypes, a catalogue of genes and genetic disorders. This catalogue contains information on all known mendelian disorders and over 12,000 genes. It focuses on the relationship between phenotype and genotype. It’s meant to be used for further research and as a tool for genomic analysis.
These loci of these genes will highlight and from there it is easy to see which parts of the body are affected and where in the chromosomes these genes are located. These chromosomes can be singled out and zoomed into.
The top bar can be used to view other chromosomes, while the bottom color bar can be used to view other systems' markers on a chromosome.
By selecting a specific disease, the screen returns to a layout similar to the home page. Only the specific locations where genetic disorders occur are highlighted. The page includes all the associated locations, indicating which body system it affects.
