Disease Databases • Genes are involved in disease • Many diseases are well studied • Description of diseases and what is known about them is stored • A good place to start when you want to know about a certain disease • Linked to PubMed, the OMIM Morbid Map • OMIM - Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man • “A catalog of human genes and genetic disorders maintained by Johns Hopkins University” • http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=omim
Putting it All Together • Each Database contains specific information • Like other biological systems also these databases are interrelated
