Welcome to the Human Transcript Database
at http://www.hgsc.bcm.tmc.edu/HTDB/
The Human Transcript Database (HTD) is a curated source for information related to RNA molecules that have been sequenced. The goal of the HTD is to provide a clone-based platform that represents as many of the human transcripts that have been
sequenced as possible. As the focus of the HTD is on complete or nearly complete sequences, EST sequence information has been excluded.
There are several important features of the database. A fully redundant set of sequences is available for searching as well as a
non-redundant version. These may be searched by keywords in their Genbank entry fields or by sequence similarity.
In addition to these two datasets, the sequences have been grouped into putative genes, therefore two sequences that overlap but are not
identical may be identified.
For each sequence we also provide links to other databases used to examine transcript information. Links to the Entrez entry are provided, as well as a link to the corresponding Unigene cluster, if applicable.
Caveats:
The approach we have taken focuses on the incorporation of as many transcripts as possible. Reasonable effort has been made to exclude those sequences that are not derived from mRNAs, however such sequences may exist within the database.
Chimeric and genomic cDNA clones have not been rigorously excluded from the database.
Disclaimer:
The database assembled here is intended to assist in the acquisition of scientific knowledge. No claims as to the completeness or accuracy of the database is made.
