    The GeneCard's Contents   about

    GeneCards, focused on human genes, presents annotations extracted from above 50 databases on many differrent topics.
    See an example by clicking on a topic name (the relevant section in the BRCA1 GeneCard will appear):

    Notice that every gene category has its distinct color.
    A gene's symbol and GCid on the GeneCard's header are the color of the gene's category.
    For example: A1BG and its GCid are in red on the A1BG GeneCard header because it is 'protein coding'.
