Abstract

The lowering of costs of whole exome sequencing (WES) services registered in the last two years has greatly increased the demand for managing different metabolic diseases, including autism spectrum disorders (ASD). WES allows the detection of a large part of exome single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), whose expression can be in some cases modulated by epigenetics, life style and microbioma changes. However, such raw data usually needs to be manipulated in order to allow useful interpretation and analysis. We present BIOESOnet, a tool for the filtering and visualization of exome 23andMe raw data into a customized methylation pathway. The tool, available at: http://www.bionumeri.org/joomla/restricted-area/onecarbon-tool, enables a fast and extensive overview of possible mutations inside an extended metabolic pathway.

The authors wish it to be known that, in their opinion, the first two authors should be regarded as Joint First Authors.
