how to select candidate genes after resequencing

Hi, I am now doing some researches of resequencing. Now I've got a large amount of SNPs, and want to utilize them to identify candidate genes. But I am very confused of it. How can I select these candidate genes? With the help of Ensemble or David, or any other tools?

snp sequence

You need to elaborate your question or make it more clear. I quiet didn't get what you want to do?

I want to find positive select sweep, and locate some genes which participate in this positive selection. I've konown positons of SNPs, and I want to find those important genes through the information of these SNPs.

The Variant Effect Predictor will tell you what genes your variants hit and what effect they have on them.

You could verify if your SNPs have potential deleteriousness effect with CADD (Combined Annotation Dependent Depletion) and choose the genes with the most probable deleterious SNPs.
