107. MyVariant.info: a gateway to integrated resource of variant annotations

The depth and breadth of knowledges on genetic variation are growing exponentially. At the same time, the latest web API technology revamps the way we collect, manage and publish the fast-growing variant annotations. First, users can fetch annotation data from web APIs with much lower latency compared to downloading and analyzing data sources separately. Second, web APIs return data in standard formats (e.g., JSON or XML), which enables easy integration with other applications such as knowledge discoveries.
