Related web resources and databases
INFOGENMED heavily relies on databases available from the Web
for data gathering. This databases are, in general, available for
public
use. See below a selected list of related resources, according
to the following categories:
Databases with clinical and genetic
information
- GeneCards - http://bioinfo.weizmann.ac.il/cards/index.html
GeneCards is a database of human genes, their products and their
involvement in diseases. It offers concise information about the
functions of all human genes that have an approved symbol, as
well as selected others.
- OMIM - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/omim/
This database is a catalog of human genes and genetic disorders
authored and edited by Dr. Victor A. McKusick and his colleagues
at Johns Hopkins and elsewhere, and developed for the World Wide
Web by NCBI, the National Center for Biotechnology Information.
The database contains textual information, pictures, and reference
information.
- Genes and Disease - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/disease/
Information resource at the NCBI based on groups of diseases and
their genetic causes.
- GeneReviews - http://www.geneclinics.org/
(formerly GeneClinics), online publication of expert-authored
genetic disease reviews (~140 reviews) with International genetics
Lab Directory (~500 Labs, ~900 diseases)
and International genetics and prenatal diagnosis Clinic Directory
(~1000 clinics)
- Locuslink - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/LocusLink/index.html
LocusLink provides a single query interface to curated sequence
and descriptive information about genetic loci. It presents information
on official nomenclature, aliases, sequence accessions, phenotypes,
EC numbers, MIM numbers, UniGene clusters, homology, map locations,
and related web sites.
- GDB - The Genome Database - http://gdbwww.gdb.org/gdb/
- GenAtlas - http://bisance.citi2.fr/GENATLAS/ is a repertory
of three types of objects : genes, diseases, and markers
- Medline - PUBMED - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=PubMed
MEDLINE is a bibliographic database covering the fields of medicine,
nursing, dentistry, veterinary medicine, the health care system,
and the preclinical sciences.
- HGMD - Human Gene Mutation Database - http://archive.uwcm.ac.uk/uwcm/mg/hgmd0.html
at the Institute of Medical Genetics in Cardiff. The Human Gene
Mutation Database (HGMD) represents an attempt to collate known
(published) gene lesions responsible for human inherited disease.
- ENSEMBL - http://www.ensembl.org/Homo_sapiens/diseaseview
Ensembl presents up-to-date sequence data and the best possible
automatic annotation for eukaryotic genomes.
- HUGO Mutation Database - http://www.genomic.unimelb.edu.au/mdi/centraldb.html
The goal of the HUGO Mutation Database Initiative is to collect
and disperse accurately, efficiently, and completely a record
of predominantly disease causing variation together with other
variations where relevant (e.g., inorganic variation).
Nomenclature and coding systems
- Human Gene Nomenclature Database - http://www.gene.ucl.ac.uk/nomenclature/
Currently providing approved symbols and literature Aliases for
over one third of the genes in the human genome
- Gene Ontology - http://www.geneontology.org/
The goal of the Gene OntologyTM Consortium is to produce a dynamic
controlled vocabulary that can be applied to all organisms even
as knowledge of gene and protein roles in cells is accumulating
and changing.
- ICD-9-MC - http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/about/otheract/icd9/maint/maint.htm
The International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision,
Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) is based on the World Health
Organization's Ninth Revision, International Classification of
Diseases (ICD-9). ICD-9-CM is the official system of assigning
codes to diagnoses and procedures associated with hospital utilization
in the United States.
- MeSH - http://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/meshhome.html
MeSH is the National Library of Medicine's controlled vocabulary
thesaurus. MeSH consists of a set of terms or subject headings
that are arranged in both an alphabetic and a hierarchical structure.
There are more than 19,000 main headings in MeSH.
