Disease genes and pathways exploration: A listing of basic bioinformatics resources

Over the past few decades a lot of molecular and genomic data, in general and in the context of various diseases, has accumulated. Public domain data has been databased and curated and is freely available. Multiple databases provide novel views of the underlying genetic, genomic, proteomic or literature data. This in turn facilitates knowledge discovery and disease research. The current article provides an overview of bioinformatics tools and databases to support and enhance research on disease mechanism.
