title: GPCEG-A database for genomic polymorphism of Chinese ethnic groups.
abstract: This paper reports the construction of the database for Genomic Polymorphism of Chinese Ethnic Groups (GPCEG). GPCEG contains denomination and basic information of Chinese 56 ethnic groups, with introduction of their in geographic distribution, population quantity, spoken and written language, religious belief and physical characteristics. GPCEG collects the data of genomic polymorphism, cell lines, reference and links of other international related databases. The visualization, query and update system were also available. GPCEG laid the foundations of establishing a national database with Chinese characteristics.
