Application(s) used in this pipeline:                               Example: 

BLAST, PHYLIP, etc.

Motivation behind the pipeline: 

(Task which is resolved with the pipeline)                             Example:

Selection of the SNPs previously defined by linkage or association studies

Problem(s) faced in the pipeline: 

(Problems faced in accessing the databases/resources)        Example:

Takes too long to retreive answers to queries

How do you access/ query the database and what inputs do you use while querying?:

                                                                                                                   Example:

  PubMed is queried with a GENE-ID

Pipeline:  

(Steps you use to solve the task mentioned in motivation.)                    Example:

1. Input: a. Reference sequence of the region of interest = input 1 b. Linkage region (initial starting range based on the genetic markers) = input 2 2. Collect SNPs from dbSNP, HGVbase, and Celera that correspond to the base range. 3. Validation: Checks whether the sequences are found in all 3 sources, in 2 or only one (no action is taken). 4. Use the tool MAGMA [HZS+] to select a set of SNPs to maximize the complete and even coverage of the region of interest with as many validated SNPs as possible.
