A searchable database of genetic evidence for psychiatric disorders.
This paper describes a new bioinformatic tool for use in psychiatric research, "SLEP" (Sullivan Lab Evidence Project). SLEP is a searchable archive of findings from psychiatric genetics that is freely available on the web for non-commercial use (http://slep.unc.edu). Via a simple interface, users can retrieve findings from genome-wide linkage, genome-wide association, and microarray studies for ADHD, autism, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, major depression, nicotine dependence, and schizophrenia. Findings can be save to disk or viewed via a genome browser.
