PGMapper is a software tool for automatically matching phenotype to genes from a defined genome region or a group of given genes by combining the mapping information from Ensembl database (http://www.ensembl.org/index.html) and gene function information from OMIM (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=omim) and PubMed database (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez) . Candidate gene search will be based on the genome region and key words that describe the particular phenotypic features specified by users. PGMapper obtains the information of all genes of a disease locus or a QTL from Ensemble database and then search the OMIM and PubMed to find those genes relevant to a disease or a phenotype trait according to known literature reports. For all candidate genes, PGMapper provides detailed information of gene and all related references that support the candidacy in OMIM and PubMed database.
