Abstract: Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) and insertions/deletions (Indels) are the most common biological markers widely spread across all genome chromosomes. Owing to the large amount of SNPs and Indels data that have become available during the last ten years, it is a challenge to intuitively integrate, compare, or visualise them and effectively perform analysis across multiple samples simultaneously. Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) is an approach to find genetic variants associated with a trait, but it lacks an efficient way of investigating genomic variant functions. To tackle these issues, we developed SNPViz v2.0, a web-based tool designed to visualise large-scale haplotype blocks with detailed SNPs and Indels grouped by their chromosomal coordinates, along with their overlapping gene models, phenotype to genotype accuracies, Gene Ontology (GO), protein families (Pfam), and their functional effects. SNPViz v2.0 is available in both SoyKB and KBCommons. For soya bean only, the SNPViz v2.0 is available online at: http://soykb.org/SNPViz2/. For other plants such as Arabidopsis thaliana and Zea mays, SNPViz v2.0 in their respective knowledge bases is available online at: https://kbcommons.org.
