Databases

BioSystems
Database that groups biomedical literature, small molecules, and sequence data in terms of biological relationships.
Bookshelf
A collection of biomedical books that can be searched online and that are linked to PubMed through research paper citations within the text. The collection includes biomedical textbooks and other scientific books as well as some genetic resources, such as OMIM (described below), and NCBI manuals.
Cancer Chromosomes
Integrates data from three sources: the NCI/NCBI SKY/M-FISH and CGH Database, the NCI Mitelman Database of Chromosome Aberrations in Cancer, and the NCI Recurrent Aberrations in Cancer. The integrated databases can be searched for cytogenetic, clinical, and/or reference information.
Database of Genotypes and Phenotypes (dbGaP)
Archives and distributes the results of studies that have investigated the interaction of genotypes and phenotypes. Such studies include those assessing genome-wide association, medical sequencing, molecular diagnostic assays, as well as association between genotype and non-clinical traits.
Database of Major Histocompatibility Complex (dbMHC)
Provides an open, publicly accessible platform where the HLA community can submit, edit, view, and exchange data related to the human Major Histocompatibility Complex. It consists of an interactive Alignment Viewer for HLA and related genes, an MHC microsatellite database, a sequence interpretation site for Sequencing Based Typing (SBT), and a Primer/Probe database.
Genes and Disease
Summary information for more than 80 genetic disorders with discussions of the underlying mutation(s) and clinical features, as well as links to related databases and organizations. The database is accessed through NCBI's Bookshelf.
Online Mendelian Inheritance in Animals (OMIA)
Database of genes, inherited disorders and traits in animal species (other than human and mouse), with textual information and references, as well as links to relevant records from other NCBI databases, such as PubMed and Gene.
Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM)
Catalog of human genes and genetic disorders, with links to associated literature references, sequence records, maps, and related databases.
PubMed
A database of citations and abstracts for biomedical literature from MEDLINE and additional life science journals. Links are provided when full text versions of the articles are available via PubMed Central (described below) or other websites.
PubMed Central
A digital archive of full-text biomedical and life sciences journal literature, including clinical medicine and public health.

Tools

Influenza Virus
Presents data from the NIAID Influenza Genome Sequencing Project and from GenBank, and provides tools for flu sequence analysis, annotation and submission to GenBank. It also provides links to other flu sequence resources, and publications and general information about flu viruses.
Map Viewer
A software component of the Genome database that provides special browsing capabilities for a subset of organisms. You can view and search an organism's complete genome, display chromosome maps, and zoom into progressively greater levels of detail, down to the sequence data for a region of interest.
PubMed Clinical Queries
PubMed queries targeted to clinicians and health services researchers, including searching by clinical study category, finding systematic reviews, and searching medical genetics literature.

Downloads

FTP: dbGAP Open-Access Data
Open-access data generally include summaries of genotype/phenotype association studies, descriptions of the measured variables, and study documents, such as the protocol and questionnaires. Access to individual-level data, including phenotypic data tables and genotypes, requires varying levels of authorization.
FTP: dbMHC Data
This site contains data in separate directories for the various projects and resources within the database of human major histocompatibility (dbMHC).
FTP: SKY/M-Fish and CGH Data
This site contains SKY-CGH data in ASN.1, XML and EasySKYCGH formats. See the skycghreadme.txt file for more information.

Submissions

Database of Genotype and Phenotype (dbGaP) Data Submission Policies
Guidelines and requirements for submitting genotype and phenotype association data to dbGaP.
SKY/M-Fish & CGH
Site to submit Spectral Karyotyping (SKY), Multiplex Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (M-FISH) or Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH) data.
