Genetics and Cancer Recommended Resources

Genomeweb is an online newsroom that focuses on advanced molecular research tools in order to provide readers with exclusive news and in-depth analysis in molecular biology research and diagnostics.

A peer reviewed on-line journal, encyclopaedia and database in free access on the Internet, devoted to genes, cytogenetics, and clinical entities in cancer, and cancer-prone diseases.

GeneReviews, an international point-of-care resource for busy clinicians, provides clinically relevant and medically actionable information for inherited conditions in a standardized journal-style format, covering diagnosis, management, and genetic counseling for patients and their families. Each chapter in GeneReviews is written by one or more experts on the specific condition or disease and goes through a rigorous editing and peer review process before being published online.

The goal of the NCI’s Cancer Genome Anatomy Project is to determine the gene expression profiles of normal, pre-cancer and cancer cells, leading eventually to improved detection, diagnosis and treatment for patients.

MedGen is NCBI's portal to information about conditions and phenotypes related to Medical Genetics. The core content may include names, identifiers used by other databases, mode of inheritance, clinical features, and map location of the loci affecting the disorder.
