For over a decade, GeneCards has provided gene-centric information, automatically mined and integrated from amyriad of data sources, resulting in a web-based card for each of the tens of thousands of human gene entries.
The GeneCards database is developed and maintained in the Crown Human Genome Center at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel . Founded in 1997, the GeneCards project defined as its goal to integrate the fragments of information scattered over a variety of specialized databases into a coherent picture.
We now introduce GeneCards Version 4, featuring a novel infrastructure, and a new speedy and sophisticated search engine. As a result of these improvements, the GeneCards user can now perform improved and better targeted queries, and evaluate search results in a more effective and user friendly manner.
