The GDB Human Genome Data Base refers collectively to GDB and OMIM, Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man. GDB and OMIM are linked databases that provide an international repository for information generated by the Human Genome Initiative. GDB contains human gene mapping data, while OMIM offers the text of Dr. Victor A. McKusick's catalog of genetic disease and phenotype descriptions. These databases, updated and edited continuously, integrate bibliographic and full-text information with several types of mapping data. They are accessible through a flexible interface and are available through SprintNet and the Internet to the scientific community without cost. This paper provides an overview of the context, development, structure, content, and use of these databases.
GDB人类基因组数据库统称GDB和《人类孟德尔遗传》(OMIM)。GDB和OMIM是相互链接的数据库,为人类基因组计划所产生的信息提供了一个国际知识库。GDB包含人类基因图谱数据,而OMIM提供维克多·A·麦库西克博士的遗传疾病目录文本及表型描述。这些数据库不断更新和编辑,将书目信息和全文信息与多种类型的图谱数据整合在一起。它们通过一个灵活的界面进行访问,科学界可通过SprintNet和互联网免费使用。本文概述了这些数据库的背景、发展、结构、内容及用途。
