We have developed a relational database to contain whole genome
sequence alignments between human and mouse with extensive annotations
of the human sequence. Complex queries are supported on recorded
features, both directly and on proximity among them. Searches can
reveal a wide variety of relationships, such as finding all genes
expressed in a designated tissue that have a highly conserved noncoding
sequence 5' to the start site. Other examples are finding single
nucleotide polymorphisms that occur in conserved noncoding regions
upstream of genes and identifying CpG islands that overlap the 5' ends
of divergently transcribed genes. The database is available online at
http://globin.cse.psu.edu/ and http://bio.cse.psu.edu/.
