Go!Poly: A gene-oriented polymorphism database

Abstract

Human genome polymorphisms play a key role in defining the molecular basis of phenotypic differences between individuals in aspects such as disease susceptibility and drug responses. The database requirements for supporting the study of human genetic variation have been well recognized. In order to meet these needs, several generalized databases have been built. However, it is still hard for users to find gene-related variation data from these huge and sophisticated databases.
