HuVarBase: A human variant database with comprehensive information at gene and protein levels. [PMID: 30703169]
Human variant databases could be better exploited if the variant data available in multiple resources is integrated in a single comprehensive resource along with sequence and structural features. Such integration would improve the analyses of variants for disease prediction, prevention or treatment. The HuVarBase (HUmanVARiantdataBASE) assimilates publicly available human variant data at protein level and gene level into a comprehensive resource. Protein level data such as amino acid sequence, secondary structure of the mutant residue, domain, function, subcellular location and post-translational modification are integrated with gene level data such as gene name, chromosome number & genome position, DNA mutation, mutation type origin and rs ID number. Disease class has been added for the disease causing variants. The database is publicly available at https://www.iitm.ac.in/bioinfo/huvarbase. A total of 774,863 variant records, integrated in the HuVarBase, can be searched with options to display, visualize and download the results. |
