title: HGDB: A web retrieving cardiovascular-associated gene data.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The use of data obtained from high throughput techniques in genetics studies is an essential subject in biology. The system approaches of networking and enriching may improve the data management. Here, we annotated the molecular features for cardiovascular-associated genes and presented the HGDB search-based database (www.hgdb.ir).
  
  
  METHODS
  The initial seed data was primarily used from Gene Ontology and was automatically enriched with other molecular features. The data was managed in a SQL popular and open source.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The search tabs on the HGDB homepage were applied for ID/Name Gene, chromosome, cell organelle and all gene options. The search results were presented on the gene text-based and source link-based descriptions.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The HGDB is a friendly website to present gene data in the cardiovascular field.
