Maps of the human genome , including cytogenetic maps, linkage maps, radiation hybrid maps, content contig maps, and integrated maps. These maps can be displayed graphically via the Web. Variations within the human genome including mutations and polymorphisms, plus allele frequency data. Note that GDB does not currently store human sequence data or raw mapping data such as pedigrees or genotypes. Such data are available from other sources.
Genomic segments can range in size from points to regions as large as an entire chromosome.
A future version of GDB will include polymorphic regions as Genomic Segments, thus enhancing the representation of polymorphisms. Gene nomenclature is curated in GDB by the HUGO Nomenclature committee, which assigns authoritative names. Any genomic segment may have links to entries in the sequence databases, and to any World Wide Web page or database containing additional information about the segment. GDB contains over 1.5 million clones from a wide variety of sources. Maps Maps which cover a region of interest can be retrieved and then graphically displayed, either singly or aligned to each other, using our Mapview viewer.
