VarChat is now integrated into the UCSC Genome Browser, making it even easier for researchers to access key literature insights while exploring genomic variants.
With this new feature, users can quickly see how many scientific papers mention a specific variant, along with essential details like its associated gene, HGVS nomenclature, and dbSNP rsID. To make things even more intuitive, variants are color-coded based on the level of literature support—so you can instantly gauge how well-documented a variant is.
This integration is a big step toward simplifying literature research in genomics, saving time, and ensuring that critical insights are just a click away.
A huge thanks to the UCSC Genome Browser team for making this possible! We’re excited to see how this feature supports our community.
