BioThings- Other Biothings in the works
By now, you’ve probably seen the announcement that our renewal grant application has been approved. In addition to funding the improvement of MyGene.info, and the extension of lessons learned from MyVariant.info, the renewal grant will fund the development of a BioThings Software Development Kit (SDK). To our knowledge
MyVariant- Lesson’s learned and what’s in store
We learned a lot from building MyVariant.info to be a fast, RESTful API for gene variant annotation–here’s how we’ll apply what we learned.
