Homophila -- human disease gene cognates in Drosophila
What you can do:
Study comprehensive linkage between the human disease genes compiled in Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) and the complete Drosophila genomic sequence.
Highlights:
- Homophila is an intergenomic resource linking the human and fly genomes in order to stimulate functional genomic investigations in Drosophila that address questions about genetic disease in humans.
- Homophila provides a comprehensive linkage between the disease genes compiled in Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) and the complete Drosophila genomic sequence.
- Homophila is a relational database that allows searching based on human disease descriptions, OMIM number, human or fly gene names, and sequence similarity,
