Mining the Bovine Genome with the "Bovine SNP Retriever"

Online resources for the bovine genome analysis are provided at the most important Web sites. Nonetheless, retrieval of single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-related information is not always easy when searches must focus on complementary features. In this work, we present the Bovine SNP Retriever: a user-friendly tool for bovine SNP retrieval that also facilities the retrieval of SNP-related information within user-selected quantitative traits loci regions and reverse electronic polymerase chain reaction analysis on the bovine genome. The Bovine SNP Retriever is available at http://www.itb.cnr.it/ptp/bovine_snp_retriever/.
