AB  - GeneNetwork and its earlier iteration, WebQTL, have now been an important database and toolkit for quantitative trait genetics research for two decades. Recent improvements to GeneNetwork have reinvigorated it, including the addition of data from 10 species, multi-omics analysis, updated code, and new tools. The new GeneNetwork is now an exciting resource for predictive medicine and systems genetics, which is constantly being maintained and improved. Here, we give a brief overview of the process for carrying out some of the most common functions on GeneNetwork, as a gateway to deeper analyses, demonstrating how a small number of plausible candidate genes can be found for a typical immune phenotype.Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.
