| Abstract |
|---|
DBH2H collects head-to-head (h2h) gene pairs identified from human, mouse, rat, chicken and fugu genomes, and distinguishes the ortholog mapping relationship among them. The gene pairs in DBH2H are annotated with sequential features including single nucleotide polymorphisms, CpG islands and transcription factor binding sites, as well as functional terms and genetic disorders. In addition, the expression correlation information based on 117 microarray datasets is included. By providing user-friendly access to these data, DBH2H represents a valuable resource for further analyses of this important gene arrangement in terms of transcriptional regulation mechanisms, evolutionary conservation, disease relevance, etc.
