Guidelines and recommendations for content, structure, and deployment of mutation databases: II. Journey in progress

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. Hum Mutat 15:13–15, 2000.
