• OMIA Online Mendelian Inheritance in Animals
• Animal Genome Database, Japan
• MGC Mammalian Gene Collection. The goal of the MGC is to provide a complete set of full-length (open reading frame) sequences and cDNA clones of expressed genes for human and mouse. The MGC is an NIH initiative that supports the production of cDNA libraries, clones and sequences. All the resources generated by the MGC are publicly accessible to the biomedical research community.
