Variation databases

Central variation databases (CMDBs) collect variants in all genes, mainly from the literature.

Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD) (Stenson, et al., 2008) http://www.hgmd.cf.ac.uk/ac/index.php

Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) (Hamosh, et al., 2005)
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/omim/

UniProtKB/Swissprot (Boutet, et al., 2007)
http://ca.expasy.org/sprot/

Locus-specific databases (LSDBs) list variants in specific genes and are typically manually annotated. The Human Genome Variation Society maintains a list of available LSDBs and CMDBs on their website (http://www.hgvs.org/dblist/dblist.html). Another list is available from GEN2PHEN project http://www.gen2phen.org/data/lsdbs/

Genome browsers can also be used to obtain information about genes, their products and sequence variants.

University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) Genome Browser (Kent, et al., 2002)

National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Map Viewer (Wheeler, et al., 2003)
