We have created a user-friendly tool to generate regional plots of association results in their genomic context. LocusZoom allows for quick visual inspection of the strength of association evidence, the extent of the association signal and LD, and the position of the associated SNPs relative to genes in the region. LocusZoom plots provide an option to size the data points relative to sample size and can display functional annotation. LocusZoom can be accessed from a simple web-based form with drop-down menus or by uploading a specification file to generate many plots at once. LocusZoom Python application, source code in R, and associated databases are available for download and we provide instruction for users to create custom database tables. It is anticipated that, in the future, additional publicly available result sets will be available for convenient viewing.
