GeneCards® (open in new windowwww.genecards.org) is a searchable, integrated database of human genes, which provides concise genomic, transcriptomic, genetic, proteomic, functional and disease-related information on all known and predicted human genes. Information is featured in 18 GeneCards sections and includes orthologies, disease relationships, mutations and SNPs, gene expression, gene function, pathways, protein-protein interactions, related drugs & compounds and direct links to valuable research reagents and tools such as antibodies, recombinant proteins, clones, expression assays and RNAi reagents.

The new GeneCards 3.0 beta, available at www.genecards.org/v3, features a significantly upgraded infrastructure, including a comprehensive relational biological database, and a novel, sophisticated and speedier search engine. It provides capabilities for highly effective and well-targeted queries, a user-friendly display and clear data navigation. Also released is a preliminary version of GeneDecks Version 3, which makes use of the new GeneCards relational database for complex analyses on sets of genes.

This workshop will present the features and architecture of GeneCards, and provide a hands-on session.

Come and bring your genes!
