Search for variants in more than 24 thousand biomedical publications.

Example: rs123456, NM_000059.3:c.1234A>T, p.Arg123Trp, etc.

KB App allows the search and retrieval of variant specific information from relevant studies in the literature, with related concept (e.g., diseases) annotations. By normalizing variant names, KB App returns the same results regardless of which name of a variant (e.g. BRCA1 p.P871L or c.2612C>T) is used in the query. Read more here.

Variant Disambiguation

KB App uses a new high-performance variants search engine, to normalize different forms of the same variant into a unique and standardized name so that all matching articles can be returned regardless of the use of a specific name in the query.

Biomedical Entities

KB App leverages a state-of-the-art literature annotation tool, PubTator, to display key biological entities such as diseases, variants, and drugs in all retrieved articles, providing related contextual information to the variant of interest.
