title: An Atlas on genes and chromosomes in oncology and haematology.
abstract: The "Atlas of Genetics and Cytogenetics in Oncology and Haematology" http://www.infobiogen.fr/services/chromcancer is a peer-reviewed and free internet database aimed at genes involved in cancer, cytogenetics and clinical entities in cancer, and cancer-prone diseases. It contains concise and updated review articles, a huge portal towards genetics and/or cancer databases, and teaching materials in genetics for the students. This database is made for and by clinicians and researchers, who are encouraged to contribute. The Atlas is part of the genome project. It provides information in cancer epidemiology. It contributes to research, university and post-university teaching, and telemedicine. It contributes to 'meta-medicine', a mediation using new information technology, between the overflowing information provided by the scientific community and the individual practitioner.
