Internet Gene Database Seen as Big Medical Step
Posted Tue, 20 Apr 2004

An international research team is set to publish a detailed map on the
internet of more than 20 000 human genes in what is seen as a major
breakthrough for medical science.

"We are confident now that anyone in academia or industry who uses our
database will gain far deeper insight into the meaning of human disease
than was previously possible," Japanese team leader Takashi Gojobori was
quoted as saying.

A milestone event

Presented as a milestone event for biologists, doctors and pharmacists,
the map prepared by researchers from Britain, China, France, Germany, the
United States and other countries will be used to find links between gene
functions and pathologies.

The journal Public Library of Science Biology said the 152 scientists
participating had laid the groundwork to address the challenge of
connecting functions of genes and their products to the clinical effects
that each of them has upon human health.

A consortium known as H-Invitational linking the researchers at 40
institutions in Australia, Brazil, Britain, China, France, Germany, South
Africa, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland and the United States and
coordinated by Professor Gojobori, validated and annotated 21 037 human
genes.
