H-Invitational Database (H-InvDB)
is an integrated database of human genes and transcripts.

By extensive analyses of all human transcripts, we provide curated annotations of human genes and transcripts that include gene structures, alternative splicing variants, non-coding functional RNAs, protein functions, functional domains, sub-cellular localizations, metabolic pathways, protein 3D structure, genetic polymorphisms (SNPs, indels and microsatellite repeats), relation with diseases, gene expression profiling, and molecular evolutionary features, protein-protein interactions (PPIs) and gene families/groups.
H-InvDB was produced based upon the annotation technology established in the H-Invitational Project for annotation of human full-length cDNAs (2004), was updated by the "Genome Information Integration Project" (2005-2008) and "METI integrated database project" (2008-2011) as a key integrated database of human genes, and then updated by AIST and Tokai University School of Medicine with support from JSPS KAKENHI, Grant-in-Aid for Publication of Scientific Research Results.
