Entrez Gene
April 13th, 2010 by Kristi · No Comments
I love Entrez Gene! It is the best place to go for centralized information about a single gene, associated sequences, structures, variation, etc. For example, take a look at the record PSEN1 (presenilin 1) in Homo sapiens. The gene record offers a summary, information about the genomic region/transcripts/products, genomic context, a bibliography,interaction data, general gene and protein information, references [...]

HuGENet and HuGE Navigator
April 4th, 2008 by Kristi · No Comments
The Human Genome Epidemiology Network (HuGENet™) is a voluntary, international collaboration focused on assessing the role of human genome variation in health and disease at the population level. Since 2001, HuGENet™ has maintained a database of published, population-based epidemiologic studies of human genes extracted and curated from PubMed. The HuGE Navigator replaces earlier search tools [...]
