SummaryAlthough there is an exponential increase and extensive availability of genome-wide association studies data, the visualization of this data remains difficult for non-specialist users. Current software and packages for visualizing GWAS data are intended for specialists and have been developed to accomplish specific functions, favouring functionality over user experience. To facilitate this, we have developed an R shiny web application, gwaRs, that allows any general user to visualize GWAS data efficiently and effortlessly. The gwaRs web-browser interface allows users to visualize GWAS data using SNP-density, quantile-quantile, Manhattan, and Principal Component Analysis plots. AvailabilityThe gwaRs web application is publicly hosted at https://gwasviz.shinyapps.io/gwaRs/ and R source code is released under the GNU General Public License and freely available at GitHub: https://github.com/LindoNkambule/gwaRs.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
