Abstract |
HgsDb, a database is developed to organize the data under a single platform to facilitate easy access for researcher to get information on migration and molecular risk assessment. In past, human beings migrate from one place to other over the globe in search of food and better habitat, where they got adapted. These adaptations are visible in the form of change in color, facial pattern, average height, eye shape, hair texture, etc. This leads to origin of different race of human being. The adaptations are remarkable when move from equator to either poles. There are hundreds of different haplogroups reported on both maternal and paternal sites. This database provides overview of seventy-six major Haplogroup of mt-DNA and Y-DNA with their sub classes supplemented with structural information of individual Haplogroup responsible for various factor such molecular risk assessment, migration and origin. They help genealogist to gain deep insight information about their maternal and paternal patterns. , we had collected data from open source such as National Center for Biotechnology (NCBI), to develop this database for providing information, which Will helps the medical biology, molecular biology, genealogy and for designing personalized medicine.
