title: Databases of human hemoglobin variants and other resources at the globin gene server.
abstract: Building on the pioneering efforts of Professor Huisman, several different databases of hemoglobin variants have been developed, each with progressively increased capacity for sophisticated queries and prompt updating. These resources are reviewed in the context of a larger plan for providing related resources on hemoglobins, benign and pathological variation in these proteins and the genes that encode them, and the regulation of the globin genes.
