Table 6. Genome Research Information
| Resource | Description |
| BLAST = Basic Local Alignment Search Tool; COSMIC = Catalogue Of Somatic Mutations In Cancer; iHOP = information hyperlinked over proteins; SARS = severe acute respiratory syndrome; SNPs = single nucleotide polymorphisms; UCSC = University of California, Santa Cruz. | |
| BLAST Search (part of the Ensembl Project; see below) | Search protein or DNA sequence against metazoan genomes. |
| The Cancer Genome Anatomy Project (CGAP) | Access to all CGAP data and biological resources. |
| CancerGenes | Combines gene lists annotated by experts with information from key public databases such as Entrez Gene, COSMIC, and iHOP. |
| Cancer Genome Workbench (CGWB) | Integrates clinical tumor mutation profiles with the reference human genome to improve the accuracy of mutation identification. |
| Chromosomal Variation in Man | Searchable database of literature citations on chromosomal variants and anomalies. |
| Ensembl (Joint software project between the European Bioinformatics Institute and the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute) | Data sets resulting from an automated genome analysis and annotation process. |
| Genome Channel | Java viewers for human genome data. |
| Genome Sequencing Center: Homo sapiens Maps | Links to clone and accession maps of the human genome. |
| International Cancer Genome Consortium Data Portal | A collection of genome data from more than 25 cancer projects consisting of over 3,500 tumor genomes from 13 cancer types and subtypes. Most data are available with open access. |
| International HapMap Project | A variety of ways to query for SNPs in the human genome. |
| Leiden Open Variation Database | A flexible, free tool for gene-centered collection, curation, and display of DNA variation. |
| KMcancerDB | Human gene mutation database with graphical display of molecular information for cancer-related genes. |
| National Center for Biotechnology Information: Genomic Biology | Views of chromosomes, maps, and loci; links to other NCBI resources. |
| Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) | Catalog of human genes and genetic disorders. |
| UCSC Genome Bioinformatics | Reference sequence for the human and C. elegans genomes and working drafts for the mouse, rat, Fugu, Drosophila, C. briggsae, yeast, and SARS genomes. |
