=== Web Resources ===
Another common task that geneticists encounter is the interpretation of study results in the context of nearby genes and other variants. There are many useful resources to help interpretation of study results, including:
* the NHGRI catalog of genomewide association study results at http://genome.gov/gwastudies
* the UCSC genome browser at http://genome.ucsc.edu
* the NCBI database collection at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
* the swiss army knive of the early 20th centry at http://www.google.com
To learn about genes that flank variants with tentative evidence of association in each of the three regions we are investigating, select the SNP showing the strongest evidence of association in each region and explore what you can learn from each of the resources above.
=== Plotting Regional Association Results ===
The ability to display association study results in a visual manner can also be extremely useful.
