The effort that led to the sequencing of the human genome ushered life sciences into a new era. One of the largest international scientific endeavors of the time delivered the genetic makeup of our species to the research community. Further international consortia (HapMap, ENCODE, International Human Epigenome Consortium, 1000 Genomes Project) are shaping our understanding of the genomic landscape. Current high-throughput sequencing technologies can deliver a whole human genome in a matter of days. The subsequent data avalanche is stored in public repositories (including individual genomes). Such developments emphasize the need for data mining approaches. In this contribution, several tools and strategies to access these data are presented.
