1. PhenCode: Connecting genome to phenotype Belinda Giardine Cathy Riemer Ross Hardison Webb Miller Jim Kent PSU and UCSC

2. Aims of PhenCode   Connect genome data (evolutionary history, function) with phenotype and clinical data   Facilitate better understanding of the associations between genotype and phenotype   Generate novel explanations for mechanisms of disease

6. Any LSDB with clearly defined mutations can join PhenCode   The essential information is the same as for HGVS style nomenclature or entry in Central Repository   Reference sequence   Position(s) in reference sequence   The change in amino acid or nucleotide sequence   This information, in combination with alignments between the reference sequence and the chromosome sequence, gives all the required information to add the mutations to the track.   Additional attributes such as the phenotype associated with the variant make the track even more useful.
