 * Materials and Methods **

In this personal genomic study of colon cancer; personal genomics information were gathered from various sources:

http://hapmap.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-perl/gbrowse/hapmap28_B36/#search
 * The HapMap project:**
 * Accessed between February and April of 2016.
 * Search term- APC gene.
 * Used to visualize to show localize chromosomal regions of the APC gene on chromosomes and its SNPs data.

 * Mapping Genetic Risk of Disease across the World by Erik Corona**
 * Accessed between February and April of 2016.
 * Use the Genetic Risk World Map tab and select colorectal cancer as the type of disease.
 * Showed migration path of the human population, and which population are more at risk for colon cancer.

 * Ensembl (human) **
 * Accessed between Febriaru and April of 2016.
 * Used the search to search for APC for my gene of interest. Select APC (human gene), then navigate through its genetic variations.
 * showed gene variants APC ENSG00000134982 description, locations and other related information such its variant IDs.
