Gene/protein databases

  • GeneCards: A searchable, integrated, database that provides concise genomic related information, on all known and predicted human genes. Includes MalaCards, the human disease database. Note that GeneCards is free for academic and non-profit use but commercial users require a license.
  • InterPro: integrates protein information from several allied databases into a single searchable resource providing protein family classification information, functional domain prediction and identification of other important sites on proteins.
  • HomoloGene: An automated system for constructing putative homology groups from the genomes of a wide range of eukaryotic species.
  • HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC)
  • KEGG: Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes
  • neXtProt: a human protein-centric knowledgebase providing access to a range of high-quality datasets with tools to mine them.
  • Pfam: a collection of protein families, each represented by multiple sequence alignments and hidden Markov models (HMMs)
  • Protein Ontology: an ontological representation of protein-related entities by explicitly defining them and showing the relationships between them.
  • Treefam: a database of animal gene trees, encompassing inferred phylogenetic trees, predicted orthologues/parologues and the evolutionary history of genes.
  • UniGene: a database of the transcriptome providing information on protein similarities, gene expression, cDNA clones, and genomic location.
  • UniProt: resource for protein sequence and functional information
