Abstract

The HUGO Mutation Database Initiative has produced guidelines and recommendations addressing uniform nomenclature of (human) genes and alleles, and computing standards to permit a moderate level of built-in redundancy, searchable interfaces, and compatibility between the comprehensive (genomic) and locus-specific types of databases. The participating community (developers and users) have been moving the project along rapidly, as described here.
