DG-CST (Disease Gene Conserved Sequence Tags) -- a database of humanx96mouse conserved elements associated to disease genes

What you can do:
Search for sequence elements conserved between human and mouse that are involved in the pathogenesis of genetic disorders.
Highlights:
  • The database is for the identification and detailed annotation of humanx96mouse conserved genomic sequences that are localized within or in the vicinity of human disease-related genes.
  • CSTs (Conserved Sequence Tags) are defined as sequences that show at least 70% identity between human and mouse over a length of at least 100 bp.
  • The 2005 release contains CST data relative to over 1088 genes responsible for monogenetic human genetic diseases or involved in the susceptibility to multifactorial/polygenic diseases.
Keywords:
  • human disease genes
  • mouse disease genes
  • genetic diseases
  • genetic disorders
  • monogenetic diseases
  • multifactorial diseases
  • polygenic diseases
  • conserved sequence tags
