Entrez Gene, the most recent addition to the growing Entrez database collection, provides detailed reports on genes, both sequenced and unsequenced, with links to related resources. Entrez Gene supports the queries and provides much the same information as the familiar LocusLink resource it will eventually replace. However, the Gene database has a larger scope and currently covers over 350 microbial species, more than a thousand viral genomes, and more than 400 eukaryotes. Being integrated into Entrez also means that the connections between Gene and other databases in Entrez such as PubMed, OMIM, Nucleotide, Protein, GEO, and UniGene are more readily apparent in the Links menus, rather than a step away via LinkOut. Entrez Gene can be queried using the new Cross Database search described in the previous article beginning on Page 1. The results of such a query are shown in Figure 2 on the facing page with the 968 hits to the Gene database indicated in the lower left-hand corner. The Entrez Gene database will be featured in the Spring NCBI News. If you are interested in being notified of changes in the Gene interface, consider subscribing to the gene-announce mailing list:
