A searchable database of genetic evidence for psychiatric disorders

This paper describes a new bioinformatic tool for use in psychiatric research, “SLEP” (Sullivan Lab Evidence Project). SLEP is a searchable archive of findings from psychiatric genetics that is freely available on the web for non‐commercial use (http://slep.unc.edu). Via a simple interface, users can retrieve findings from genome‐wide linkage, genome‐wide association, and microarray studies for ADHD, autism, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, major depression, nicotine dependence, and schizophrenia. Findings can be save to disk or viewed via a genome browser. © 2008 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
