Cr. Scriver et al., Guidelines and recommendations for content, structure, and deployment of mutation databases: II. Journey in progress, HUM MUTAT, 15(1), 2000, pp. 13-15

locus-specific types of databases. The participating community (developers
and users) have been moving the project along rapidly, as described here. H
