Initially, the GeneCards database had two main features: delivery of integrated biomedical information for a gene in ‘card’ format, and a text-based search engine. Since 1998, the database has integrated more data resources and data types, such as protein expression and gene network information.
Psychiatric genetics is a somewhat new name for the old question, "Are behavioral and psychological conditions and deviations inherited?". [ 2 ] The goal of psychiatric genetics is to better understand the causes of psychiatric disorders , to use that knowledge to improve treatment methods, and possibly also to develop personalized treatments ...

The gene was first reported by two independent research groups Aaltonen et al. and Nagamine et al. in 1997 who were able to isolate and clone the gene from human chromosome 21q22.3. Their work was able to show that mutations in the AIRE gene are responsible for the pathogenesis of Autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type I. [ 5 ] [ 8 ] More ...
PGC-1α is thought to be a master integrator of external signals. It is known to be activated by a host of factors, including: Reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species, both formed endogenously in the cell as by-products of metabolism but upregulated during times of cellular stress.
Additionally, in a study examining humans and primates, scientists found how evolution has favored low levels of the alpha-2C adrenergic receptor. This protein coding gene helps inhibit the sympathetic nervous system, simultaneously suppressing anxiety. However, humans and their living ancestors, chimpanzees, lacked this gene.
The GenBank sequence database is an open access, annotated collection of all publicly available nucleotide sequences and their protein translations. It is produced and maintained by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI; a part of the National Institutes of Health in the United States) as part of the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC).
72 kDa type IV collagenase also known as matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and gelatinase A is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MMP2 gene. [5] The MMP2 gene is located on chromosome 16 at position 12.2. [6]
