[bionet.general] Chromosomal Location of Genes

ST403161%BROWNVM@PUCC.PRINCETON.EDU (03/08/91)

Does anybody know of a reasonably up to date reference or computer database
containing a list of the chromosomal locations of human genes?

You might try the HGML and/or OMIM databases described in LIMB, available
by e-mail viz
        From: NETSERV@EMBL.bitnet
        Subject: Automatic response to : GET LIMB:LIMB.TXT
        Subject: Automatic response to : GET LIMB:LIMB.NDX

Apparently both are accessible online (HGML by e-mail too).  For info, 
check the persons in the 'acc.x' fields...

Hope it helps,

HGML has changed name to GDB and moved to Johns Hopkins University.

The Human Gene Mapping Conferences HGM 10, HGM 10.5 are the most up to date
reference for this type of information. These are published as issues of
Cell and Cytogenetics by S.J. Karger.

An even better source for the very latest information is the Genome DataBase 
GDB maintained at the HHMI which is available to the mapping community. This 
has recently become accessable in the UK as part of the HGMP and is an easy
to use database providing information not only on gene location but on 
probe availability etc.

I hope this is of some use,
