title: [The application of human mutation databases].
abstract: Researches on genome mutation are becoming more and more important with the finish of human genome DNA draft. This review is to classify the existing human mutation databases, including mutation database, SNP(single nucleotide polymorphisms) databases, mutation databases about disease, mutation databases about proteins, mutation databases about map and mutation information about specific gene. We also give advice on how to utilize these mutation databases, and discuss problems of existing databases.
