HIFD -- Human Intermediate Filament Database

URL:

http://www.interfil.org/

What you can do:

Comprehensive information on a gene family involved in many human diseases.

Highlights:

The database catalogs 1,274 manually-curated pathogenic sequence variants and 170 allelic variants in intermediate filament genes from over 459 peer-reviewed research articles.
Mutations and polymorphisms are presented in parallel with data on protein structure, gene, and chromosomal location and basic information on associated diseases.
Detailed statistics relating to the variants records in the database are displayed by homology group, mutation type, affected domain, associated diseases, and nucleic and amino acid substitutions.
Multiple sequence alignment algorithms can be run from queries to determine DNA or protein sequence conservation.
Literature sources can be interrogated within the database and external links are provided to public databases.
