We have developed an integrated database that is specialized for the study of imprinted disease genes. The database contains novel candidate imprinted genes identified by the RIKEN full-length mouse cDNA microarray study, information on validated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to confirm imprinting using reciprocal mouse crosses and the predicted physical position of imprinting-related disease loci in the mouse and human genomes. It has two user-friendly search interfaces: the SNP-central view (MuSCAT: MoUse SNP CATalog) and the candidate gene-central view (CITE: Candidate Imprinted Transcripts by Expression). The database, EICO (Expression-based Imprint Candidate Organizer), can be accessed via the World Wide Web (http://fantom2.gsc.riken.jp/EICODB/) and the DAS client software. These data and interfaces facilitate understanding of the mechanism of imprinting in mammalian inherited traits.
