Summary: A Web-based database system was constructed and implemented that contains 174 tumor suppressor genes. The database homepage was created to accommodate these genes in a pull-down window so that each gene can be viewed individually in a separate Web page. Information displayed on each page includes gene name, aliases, source organism, chromosome location, expression cells/tissues, gene structure, protein size, gene functions and major reference sources. Queries to the database can be conducted through a user-friendly interface, and query results are returned in the HTML format on dynamically generated web pages.
Availability: The database is available at http://www.cise.ufl.edu/~yy1/HTML-TSGDB/Homepage.html (data files also at http://www.patcar.org/Databases/Tumor_Suppressor_Genes)
