Databases for genetic markers

Dear forum,

 

I wish to perform some haplotype analysis around a specific gene located on chromosome 5. I wish to know how I obtain the known genetic markers (SNPs, STR's etc) around this region which I can use to perform this analysis. Does anyone know of such databases? I have tried dbSNP, however their search function does not appear to be working,

 

many thanks in advance,

 

Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,

I use BioMart software (I use it in ensembl.org databases) to find SNPS in specific area in chromosome. you can restrict your area by "base pair" and "band" in chromosome. for example by accepting your band start at "q15.33" and the band end at "q15.32". It is useful software and I hope it can help you.

GOOD LUCK
