Chromosome specific databases are an important research tool as they
integrate data from different directions, such as genetic and physical
mapping data, expression data, sequences etc. They supplement the
genome-wide repositories in molecular biology, such as GenBank, Swiss- Prot
or OMIM, which usually concentrate on one type of information. The
Integrated X Chromosome Database (IXDB, http://ixdb.mpimg-berlin-
dahlem.mpg.de/) is a repository for physical mapping data of the human X
chromosome and aims at providing a global view of genomic data at a
chromosomal level. We present here an update of IXDB which includes schema
extensions for storing submaps and sequence information, additional links
to external databases, and the integration of an increasing number of
physical and transcript mapping data. The gene data was completely updated
according to the approved gene symbols of the HUGO Nomenclature Committee.
IXDB receives over 1000 queries per month, an indication that its content
is valuable to researchers seeking mapping data of the human X chromosome.
