An overview of the comparative toxicogenomics database

Toxicogenomics is a relatively new field of study oriented toward the investigation of the interplay between environmental factors and specific genes and genetic haplotypes, and more specifically how these interactions relate to the etiology of chronic disease. In their Perspective article, Mattingly et al (pp xx–xx) describe the Comparative Toxicogenomics Database, which is to be the first publicly available, curated database devoted to information regarding human genes and proteins of toxicological significance. This database will also serve as a clearinghouse for comparative toxicogenomic data, integrating the relevant information collected from a variety of well-characterized model species.
