MHCDB--database of the human MHC.
Genetic and physical data relating to the human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) were compiled and analyzed, using a genome analysis program. The current contents of the database include: 1) location of over 100 genes and other markers; 2) location of over 250 YAC and cosmid clones; 3) 150 kilobases of genomic DNA sequence including full annotation (exon/intron boundaries, repeats, promoters, etc.); 4) cDNA sequences of currently-known class I and class II alleles; and 5) accompanying descriptive data--references, comments, laboratory addresses, and so on. The database allows rapid access, retrieval, and display of all these data, which should make it a useful tool for the study of the human MHC. MHCDB is publicly available and will be updated as new data become available.
