SNPedia (pronounced "snipedia") is a wiki-based bioinformatics web site that serves as a database of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Each article on a SNP provides a short description, links to scientific articles and personal genomics web sites, as well as microarray information about that SNP. Thus SNPedia may support the interpretation of results of personal genotyping from, e.g. , 23andMe, Navigenics, deCODEme or Knome.

  • SNPedia (pronounced "snipedia") is a wiki-based bioinformatics web site that serves as a database of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Each article on a SNP provides a short description, links to scientific articles and personal genomics web sites, as well as microarray information about that SNP. Thus SNPedia may support the interpretation of results of personal genotyping from, e.g. , 23andMe, Navigenics, deCODEme or Knome. SNPedia is a semantic wiki, powered by MediaWiki and the Semantic MediaWiki extension. In a June 2008 article on personal genomics, a doctor from the Southern Illinois University School of Medicine said: The availability of online tools such as SNPedia means we are now in the position where the patient often knows more about their risk implications than their doctor [... ] According to the journal Science, SNPedia is run by "by two biotech veterans in Bethesda, Maryland": geneticist Greg Lennon and Mike Cariaso. In September 2009, the website claimed to have 7,938 SNPs in their database.
