Retrieve New Medline Citations from GDB Via FTP

Each month MEDLINE citations relevant to human gene mapping are loaded into the Genome Data Base (GDB). MEDLINE scanning is a joint project of GDB and Sue Povey's group at University College London.

Three types of files summarizing citation information are available from the ftp server ftp.gdb.org in the /litaware directory. Due to space considerations, only the most recent 12 months of files are kept on this server; please contact data@gdb.org if earlier files are needed. The date is given in YYMM format, as follows (filenames are case sensitive):

  • Date back.out and Date mapp.out files, respectively, contain background and mapping references that are relevant to human chromosome loci as indexed by MEDLINE in the specified month.
  • Date list.out files contain numerical references for citations listed in the back.out and mapp.out files, grouped by chromosome.

Human Genome Project 1990–2003

The Human Genome Project (HGP) was an international 13-year effort, 1990 to 2003. Primary goals were to discover the complete set of human genes and make them accessible for further biological study, and determine the complete sequence of DNA bases in the human genome. See Timeline for more HGP history.

Published from 1989 until 2002, this newsletter facilitated HGP communication, helped prevent duplication of research effort, and informed persons interested in genome research.
