GeneSeeker -- extraction and integration of human disease-related information from web-based genetic databases
What you can do:
Find comprehensive and integrated genetic information on human disease genes.
Highlights:
- This is a web server that gathers and combines data from a series of databases to identify genes underlying human genetic disorders requires the combination of data related to cytogenetic localization, phenotypes and expression patterns, to generate a list of candidate genes.
- All database searches are performed via the web interfaces provided with the original databases, guaranteeing that the most recent data are queried, and obviating data warehousing.
- GeneSeeker makes the same selection of candidate genes as the human geneticists would have performed, and thus reducing the time-consuming process to a few minutes.
- GeneSeeker is particularly well suited for syndromes in which the disease gene displays altered expression patterns in the affected tissue(s).
Keywords:
- chromosome mapping
- human disease genes
