Telling Stories

This portal houses short stories from individuals suffering from genetic disorders.

DNA Learning Center

Site is devoted entirely to genetics education and includes information & short videos specific to a number of genetic disorders. Created and maintained by the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.

openSNP

"openSNP allows customers of direct-to-customer genetic tests to publish their test results, find others with similar genetic variations, learn more about their results by getting the latest primary literature on their variations, and help scientists find new associations." - from the website
This data is publicly available for download.

BioSharing

"A curated, searchable portal of inter-related data standards, databases, and policies in the life, environmental and biomedical sciences" - from the website.
Aimed at - researchers, curators, database developers, funders, librarians, educators

MetaRef Database

catalog of characterized clade-specific microbial genes.

PubMed Browser - Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO)

Retrieve publications quickly using HPO and MeSH terms.
Gain quickly insight into pair-wise associations, including HPO - HPO, MeSH - HPO or MeSH - MeSH
Download HPO and MeSH annotations associated with a publication in a tabular format
Download HPO annotations for MeSH diseases

Please see this paper outlining the PubMed Browser HPO search tool:

MyVariant.info

"MyVariant.info provides simple-to-use REST web services to query/retrieve variant annotation data, aggregated from many popular data resources." - from the MyVariant.info website

Genome-scale Integrated Analysis of gene Networks in Tissues (GIANT)

Database of tissue-specific gene interactions.
Multi-tissue analysis (change in function of a gene across tissues) also possible.
Tribe is integrated.
Reprioritization of functional associations from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) - NetWAS analysis

Drug Gene Interaction Database (DGIdb)

Search for drug-gene interactions by gene or drug names.
Search for druggable categories for particular genes.

DisGeNET

"The DisGeNET database integrates human gene-disease associations (GDAs) from various expert curated databases and text-mining derived associations including Mendelian, complex and environmental diseases (Piñero et al., 2015; Bauer-Mehren et al, 2011). The integration is performed by means of gene and disease vocabulary mapping and by using the DisGeNET association type ontology." - from the…
