http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/SNP/

General database of genetic variations maintained by the NCBI. Database as central repository for both single base nucleotide substitutions and short deletion and insertion polymorphisms. Distinguishes report of how to assay SNP from use of that SNP with individuals and populations. This separation simplifies some issues of data representation. However, these initial reports describing how to assay SNP will often be accompanied by SNP experiments measuring allele occurrence in individuals and populations. Community can contribute to this resource.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 22, 2016. A multi-country collaboration among scientists and funding agencies to develop a public resource where genetic similarities and differences in human beings are identified and catalogued. Using this information, researchers will be able to find genes that affect health, disease, and individual responses to medications and environmental factors. All of the information generated by the Project will be released into the public domain. Their goal is to compare the genetic sequences of different individuals to identify chromosomal regions where genetic variants are shared. Public and private organizations in six countries are participating in the International HapMap Project. Data generated by the Project can be downloaded with minimal constraints. HapMap project related data, software, and documentation include: bulk data on genotypes, frequencies, LD data, phasing data, allocated SNPs, recombination rates and hotspots, SNP assays, Perlegen amplicons, raw data, inferred genotypes, and mitochondrial and chrY haplogroups; Generic Genome Browser software; protocols and information on assay design, genotyping and other protocols used in the project; and documentation of samples/individuals and the XML format used in the project.

Cn3D is a helper application for your web browser that allows you to view 3-dimensional structures from NCBI''s Entrez retrieval service. Cn3D runs on Windows, Macintosh, and Unix. Cn3D simultaneously displays structure, sequence, and alignment, and now has powerful annotation and alignment editing features. Cn3D is a tool for visualization of three-dimensional structures with emphasis on interactive examination of sequence-structure relationships and superposition of geometrically similar structures. Can be used to display MMDB structures, superpositions of VAST related structures, and conserved core motifs identified in conserved domains.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Structure/VAST/vast.shtml

VAST is a computer algorithm developed at NCBI and used to identify similar protein 3-dimensional structures by purely geometric criteria, and to identify distant homologs that cannot be recognized by sequence comparison. Related structures for every structure in MMDB are pre-computed using VAST and accessible via links on the MMDB Structure Summary pages. The VAST Search page also allows you to compare the coordinates of a newly resolved structure in PDB format against all structures in MMDB to find its neighbors. Protein structure neighbors in Entrez are determined by direct comparison of 3-dimensional protein structures with the VAST algorithm. Each of the more than 87,804 domains in MMDB is compared to every other one. From the MMDB Structure summary pages, retrieved via Entrez, structure neighbors are available for protein chains and individual structural domains. If you already know a PDB/MMDB-Id you can try this at once, using the input form in the right column. VAST Search is a service that allows searching for structural neighbors starting with a set of 3D-coordinates specified by the user. This service is meant to be used with newly determined protein structures that are not yet part of MMDB. Structure neighbors for proteins already in MMDB have been pre-computed and can simply be looked up from MMDB''s Structure summary pages!
