NeuroVar: an open-source tool for the visualization of gene expression and variation data for biomarkers of...

The expanding availability of large-scale genomic data and the growing interest in uncovering gene-disease associations call for efficient tools to visualize and evaluate gene expression and genetic variation data. Here, we developed a comprehensive pipeline that was implemented as an interactive Shiny application and a standalone desktop application. NeuroVar is a tool for visualizing genetic variation (single nucleotide polymorphisms and insertions/deletions) and gene expression profiles of biomarkers of neurological diseases. Data collection involved filtering biomarkers related to multiple neurological diseases from the ClinGen database. NeuroVar provides a user-friendly graphical user interface to visualize genomic data and is freely accessible on the project's GitHub repository (https://github.com/omicscodeathon/neurovar).
