21-06-2012 14:13 AutDB is the first publicly available genetic database for autism spectrum disorders. It includes all genes whose mutations have been associated or implicated with autism spectrum disorders, together with all risk-conferring candidates associated with these disorders. AutDB was designed with a systems biology approach, integrating data from diverse areas of autism research. At present, AutDB contains interactive modules that illuminate the molecular function of genes implicated in autism: Human Gene, which contains evidence for the association of genes with autism Animal Models, which describes the characteristics of animal models created from altering expression of these genes Protein Interactions (PIN), which compiles all known molecular interactions of proteins produced from these genes Copy Number Variants (CNV), which curates all known CNVs linked to autism To curate these database modules, our research team extracts data only from peer-reviewed, published scientific literature about autism. All of our annotators are scientific experts who hold advanced degrees in the biomedical sciences and formerly conducted laboratory research. They work together with our IT developers to optimize AutDB as a user-friendly tool for the autism research community. Our scientists continuously analyze current primary research articles so that AutDB serves as the most updated resource for autism candidate genes.
