ClinVar thus facilitates access to and communication about the relationships asserted between human variation and observed health status, and the history of that interpretation. ClinVar processes submissions reporting variants found in patient samples, assertions made regarding their clinical significance, information about the submitter, and other supporting data. The alleles described in submissions are mapped to reference sequences, and reported according to the HGVS standard. ClinVar then presents the data for interactive users as well as those wishing to use ClinVar in daily workflows and other local applications. ClinVar works in collaboration with interested organizations to meet the needs of the medical genetics community as efficiently and effectively as possible.
ENCODE Project
The ENCODE (Encyclopedia of DNA Elements) Consortium is an international collaboration of research groups funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI). The goal of ENCODE is to build a comprehensive parts list of functional elements in the human genome, including elements that act at the protein and RNA levels, and regulatory elements that control cells and circumstances in which a gene is active. ENCODE results from 2007 and later are available from this project. This covers data generated during the two production phases 2007-2012 and 2013-present.

The families in Rfam break down into three broad functional classes: non-coding RNA genes, structured cis-regulatory elements and self-splicing RNAs. Typically these functional RNAs often have a conserved secondary structure which may be better preserved than the RNA sequence.

The Hardwood Genomics Project is a databases for expressed genes, genetic markers, genetic linkage maps, and reference populations. It provides lasting genomic and biological resources for the discovery and conservation of genes in hardwood trees for growth, adaptation and responses to environmental stresses such as drought, heat, insect pests and disease. All original sequence data is being deposited in NCBI's Sequence Read Archive and the genetic linkage maps and associated marker data will be available at the Dendrome database.
Target Pathogen
The Target-Pathogen database is a bioinformatic approach to prioritize drug targets in pathogens. Available genomic data for pathogens has created new opportunities for drug discovery and development, including new species, resistant and multiresistant ones. However, this data must be cohesively integrated to be fully exploited and be easy to interrogate. Target-Pathogen has been designed and developed as an online resource to allow genome wide based data consolidation from diverse sources focusing on structural druggability, essentiality and metabolic role of proteins. By allowing the integration and weighting of this information, this bioinformatic tool aims to facilitate the identification and prioritization of candidate drug targets for pathogens. With the structurome and drugome information Target-Pathogen is a unique resource to analyze whole genomes of relevants pathogens.

The mission of the OBO Foundry is to develop a family of interoperable ontologies that are both logically well-formed and scientifically accurate. To achieve this, OBO Foundry participants voluntarily adhere to and contribute to the development of an evolving set of principles including open use, collaborative development, non-overlapping and strictly-scoped content, and common syntax and relations, based on ontology models that work well, such as the Gene Ontology (GO). The OBO Foundry is overseen by an Operations Committee with Editorial, Technical and Outreach working groups.
