The Histone Sequence Database is an annotated and searchable collection of
all available histone and histone fold sequences and structures. particular
emphasis has been placed on documenting conflicts between similar sequence
entries from a number of source databases, conflicts that are not necessar
ily documented in the source databases themselves. New additions to the dat
abase include compilations of post-translational modifications for each of
the core and linker histones, as well as genomic information in the form of
map loci for the human histone gene complement, with the genetic loci link
ed to Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM). The database is freely ac
cessible through the World Wide Web at either http://genome.nhgri.nih.gov/h
istones/ or http://www. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Baxevani/HISTONES.
