6. Genomic databases II

• Find the IL-2R alpha gene in the OMIM database? What is its chromosomal location ?
• View the cytogenetic maps of the regions surrounding the gene loci
• Are there known diseases associated with this gene? What are the associated disorders ?
• From OMIM (IL-2R alpha), follow the cross-reference to Entrez Gene. Have a look to the Reference Sequences (RefSeq).
• Find the corresponding UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot entry

NCBI, OMIM: IL2RA

• click on "Gene map locus 10p15.1"
• from OMIM (IL-2R alpha), follow the cross-reference to Entrez Gene. The Reference Sequences is found in the 'NCBI Reference Sequences (RefSeq)' section.
• In the section 'Related Sequences', there is only 1 link to UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot. The others are links to UniProtKB/TrEMBL.
