Genomics/Proteomics 2003 Readers’ Choice Finalist: LifeSeq Foundation
LifeSeq Foundation is a database of gene sequence and expression information that enables research scientists to identify, characterize and prioritize novel potential drug targets. It includes deep functional annotation of all gene sequences, including disease relevance. This information helps prioritize targets by telling researchers where the target is, how it relates to disease, what its close homologs are and known mutations of the target.
