Since 2018 genenetwork.org is referenced over [30 high impact publications](https://scholar.google.com/scholar?as_ylo=2018&q=genenetwork.org+nature.com&hl=en&as_sdt=0,43) in Nature and Science journals [cite]. +According to Google Scholar the domain name 'genenetwork.org' is referenced in about [1200 publications](https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=genenetwork.org) and about 60 publications are added every year (2022).

Also new studies on these model organisms add to the phenotype database and can be used for correlations and comparisons. Powerful features of GN include searching for dataset, genes, SNPs and QTL in different species, as well as [live mapping](mapping.md) using advanced tools, such as R/qtl and GEMMA that include LMMs and allow for selection of cofactors. GN can also compute correlations of data points and significant QTL. |
