Human Gene-Centric Databases at the Weizmann Institute of Science: GeneCards UDB CroW 21 and HORDE

摘要

Recent enhancements and current research in the GeneCards (GC) () project are described, including the addition of gene expression profiles and integrated gene locations. Also highlighted are the contributions of specialized associated human gene-centric databases developed at the Weizmann Institute. These include the Unified Database (UDB) () for human genome mapping, the human Chromosome 21 database at the Weizmann Insti-tute (CroW 21) (), and the Human Olfactory Receptor Data Explora-torium (HORDE) (). The synergistic relationships amongst these efforts have positively impacted the quality, quantity and usefulness of the GeneCards gene compendium.
