NCBI's Entrez Gene: gene-centered information
Does not include all known or predicted genes; instead focuses on genomes that have been completely sequenced, that have an active research community, or that are scheduled for intense sequence analysis. Content represents the result of curation and automated integration of data from NCBI's Reference Sequence project (RefSeq), from collaborating model organism databases, and from many other NCBI databases. Records are assigned unique, stable and tracked integers as identifiers.
