Abstract

Abstract Motivation: In the post-genomic era, functional analysis of genes requires a sophisticated interdisciplinary arsenal. Comprehensive resources are challenged to provide consistently improving, state-of-the-art tools. Results: GeneCards (Rebhan et al., 1998) has made innovative strides: (a) regular updates and enhancements incorporating new genes enriched with sequences, genomic locations, cDNA assemblies, orthologies, medical information, 3D protein structures, gene expression, and focused SNP summaries; (b) restructured software using object-oriented Perl, migration to schema-driven XML, and (c) pilot studies, introducing methods to produce cards for novel and predicted genes. Availability: Freely available for educational and research purposes by non-profit institutions at http://bioinfo.weizmann.ac.il/cards and academic mirror sites. Commercial usage requires a license.
